DR. C. George Boeree, a professor at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania that has a

PhD in Psychology, wrote this article to describe different types of personality disorders and

their apparent problems on the person that has them. Each disorder in his article has between

5 to 8 different traits that are the most common for that disorder and he states if you portray

most of these problems then you most likely have the described disorder. Dr. Boeree also

takes the time to write about his expert opinion on each disorder describing possible reasons

for why you may have developed the disorder. The most useful part of this article is the

overall general knowledge on each specified disorder. When I begin to read other articles and

write my rough draft I will need this general background knowledge on these disorders to

know and explain what a disorder specifically does to someone that has it. This will

hopefully give my future reader some understanding of what I am talking about.

This article is a piece of a peer-reviewed journal from Cambridge University written by a

team of psychological experts. The authors talk about the relationship between parental

bonding, child abuse and personality disorders and describes, through research, that very

little parental bonding and consistent childhood abuse can lead to increase risk of

psychological disorders. I plan to use key parts of this journal to explain where and why

personality disorders possibly arise from and that there is a correlation between child neglect

and abuse that leads to psychopathy.

This article is written by Angela Goodwin-Slater who, in herself, is mostly not a reliable

source; however, the American Psychological Association is home to the largest group of

psychological experts and scientists. Angela describes that much of her childhood abuse

came from her mother and how this abuse caused her to believe she was a worthless human

being. She does however go into the fact that she realized she had passed wounds from this

abuse and seeked psychological therapy to combat her issues. I would mainly use this

information as a first-person experience in my inquiry paper to add a sense relatability for the

potential reader who has had a similar experience.

“Borderline Personality Features and Emotion Regulation Deficits Are Associated with

Child Physical Abuse Potential.” Discovery, 2 Jan. 2016, Parenting, Child Maltreatment,

Personality Disorder.

This is a research article made by a team from Northern Illinois University

through the Center for the Study of Family Violence and Sexual Assault. The research

team finds that the greater potential for childhood physical abuse leads to a greater risk of

developing borderline personality disorders. They also found that children had a higher

risk of developing a psychopathic disorder if their parents gave little time to them and the

time they did give was full of maliciousness. I would mainly use this research to further

prove my case that there is a direct link between child abuse and personality disorder to

allow my readers with a personality disorder to hopefully bring up their past the main

trauma that is rooted deep in their mind that gives them problems today so that they can

realize it for themselves.
