2 Briefly describe the personality disorder you selected, including the DSM-5- TR diagnostic criteria Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a mental health disorder associated with a long pattern of distrust and being suspicious of others without meaningful reason for being suspicious. Although the actual cause of PPD is not well known, scientists have found that a combination of biological and environmental factors contributes significantly to developing PPD in both early adulthood and adolescence. Factors such as supervision and physical and emotional neglect are some childhood trauma linked to developing PPD in the early and late stages of life. PPD symptoms include being argumentative and defensive, quick anger and hostility, social isolation and multiple challenges in working with others (Hörz-Sagstetter et al., 2018). Explain a therapeutic approach and a modality you might use to treat a client presenting with this disorder. Explain why you selected the approach and modality, justifying their appropriateness Treatment of PPD depends on the individual experiencing the condition. However, most people experiencing the condition require to be pushed by friends and family members to accept the diagnosis and treatment. The treatment process requires continuous management and support to provide significant relief. Nutrition counseling, Individual, group and family therapies are all salient in treating PPD. However, I would consider Group therapy the most efficient and effective treatment option for PPD. Group therapy is unique in providing some interventions and education that would be used in individual therapy to help people experiencing PPD. Group therapy is important because it helps individuals suffering from similar conditions interact and learn from each other. Also, group therapy would play an important role in fighting isolation by

3 providing a space where individuals will feel safe and talk about their challenges without fear of stigma (Kealy et al., 2019). Next, briefly explain what a therapeutic relationship is in psychiatry. A therapeutic relationship refers to the relationship created between a healthcare professional and the patient being served. The objective of the relationship is to create understanding and benefit the patient seeking medical attention. The therapeutic relationship has been founded on four pillars: professional intimacy, empathy, power, trust and respect. Generally, therapeutic relationship helps in improving patient satisfaction ( Torous et al., 2018) . Explain how you would share your diagnosis of this disorder with the client in order to avoid damaging the therapeutic relationship. Compare the differences in how you would share your diagnosis with an individual, a family, and in a group session When disclosing psychiatric diagnoses, I would accompany ethical considerations to protect the therapeutic relationship with my client. Among the ethical considerations, I would stick to include those tied to the principles of beneficence, such as respect for the client’s rights, integrity and dignity. In an individual session, I would first ask the client about his expectations for the therapy sessions and gently correct him on any misinformation about the entire therapy session (Lopez et al., 2019). I consider the strategy vital for a level playing ground. In both family and group sessions, I would commit to managing my emotions and avoid triggering or causing rejection by daydreaming, dismissing the values of my clients and shutting down their ideas. As a therapist, controlling my emotions was significantly help build trust with the clients and ensure they benefited from the sessions. Making the clients struggling with mental health feel interested and heard would be critical in their healing process by feeling appreciated and accepted while sharing their thoughts and experience (Lopez et al., 2019).
