Are Personality Disorders Just Trauma Dissociation & the Truth About Cluster B

Описание: What if narcissism and borderline personality disorder are not personality disorders at all?

In this powerful excerpt, Sam Vaknin argues that what we call Cluster B personality disorders may actually be dissociative trauma states.

According to this model, narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are not fixed character structures — but post-traumatic adaptations rooted in betrayal, attachment injury, and structural dissociation.

If trauma fragments the personality into parts, then “personality disorder” may be a misdiagnosis of dissociation.

This segment explores:

• The collapse mechanism in narcissism
• Switching between overt, covert and collapsed states
• Why CPTSD and BPD share nearly identical foundations
• How dissociation creates identity disturbance
• Why personality disorders may need to be reclassified

Is Cluster B pathology really trauma in disguise?
