Cluster A: A Self Analysis

291 Words2 Pages

It surprised me that personality traits were included in the DSM. In some ways, I think it stigmatizes individuals who don’t quite fit in. However, due to the emphasis on the disorder causing clinical distress, I think it has the capacity to be helpful. After exploring the dimensional alternative in the DSM, I gained a clearer understanding of the three clusters of personality disorders. Cluster A, marked by eccentricities, also has the common trait of detachment in all of its disorders. As I created the artwork, I noticed how it and the schizophrenia spectrum disorders had so many criteria in common. I created this layer solely from tissue paper to emphasize these similarities. I continued this concept for Cluster B’s dramatic, emotional,

  • Symbolism In Jim Stevens Schizophrenia

    312 Words  | 2 Pages

    Another way that Jim Stevens used symbolism in the poem Schizophrenia, was by using the appearance of the house on not only the inside but also the outside to represent the way outsiders see the family as opposed to the way the family actually is. The outside of the house is representing what the family is showing to others, they do not put up a perfect front, but it is not nearly as hurt as the inside. In reality, the inside of the house is what the whole family is really dealing with, and what it actually looks and feels like to have schizophrenia. The inside of the house is talked about much more than the outside because Jim Stevens wants the reader to understand that the family is hurting from the schizophrenia on the inside and trying
