Playing games with my friends and family is one of my favorite things to do. It started when I was a kid and after hurricanes would hit, playing games was all we had to pass the time. While playing the games themselves was fun, winning against my big brother was even better! For me, seeing my older brother lose to me was all the reinforcement that I needed, so I kept playing. This is because I was getting something that I liked and continuously being reinforced. Continuous reinforcement has made me play games for hours and will continue to make me play.

I have been addicted to the game of Uno for years. I currently play online through an app when I have free time. I enjoy playing Uno as it is relaxing, competitive, and provide many options for winning with high coin amounts. In relation to the schedules of reinforcement, compound schedules of reinforcement I identify from consist of fixed interval and variable ratio. Remembering, fixed interval is reinforcement made available at a specific time (Miltenberger, p. 84), in relation to playing Uno, one of the incentives is free daily coins at 4:00pm. These coins are available for redemption any time after 4:00pm within 24hrs. Since the free rewards are only made available after 4:00pm, if I do not have any playing coins there is no point in signing into the game. Reinforcement is only present at on after 4:00pm when the free rewards are present. In addition, variable ratio, after the number of unpredicted responses is produced then reinforcement is implied (Miltenberger, 83). When playing Uno variable ratio schedule of reinforcement is exhibited based on if I am winning. Winning results in coins that can be used to continue to play. After winning a few times in a row I am eager to continue to play to try and win more coins; consequently, sometimes I lose all my coins.

Describe the personality disorder for the case study you selected. Apply the theories in your selected model to explain how the disorder may have developed for your particular case and what may have been the underlying causes

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 10 of the course textbook. Pay close attention to the two case illustrations in Section 10.4 as these may inform the creation of the illustration in your initial post. Also, read the articles An Integrated Approach to Treatment of Patients With Personality Disorders and Pathological Personality Traits Can Capture DSM–IVPersonality Disorder Types (Clarkin, Cain, & Livesley, 2015; Miller, Few, Lynam, & MacKillop, 2015).

BOTH ARTICLES AND TEXTBOOK CHAPTER 10 ARE PROVIDED IN ATTACHMENTS!!

For this discussion, select one of the personality disorders discussed in Chapter 10 that you find interesting, then conduct web research to find a person (i.e., living or not, historical, famous, and/or even fictional) who suffers from the disorder you chose to serve as a case study. Then choose a model of personality that will serve as a framework for devising a theoretical explanation and therapeutic intervention for the case you selected.

For your initial post,

  • Describe the personality disorder for the case study you selected.
  • Apply the theories in your selected model to explain how the disorder may have developed for your particular case and what may have been the underlying causes. The primary focus here should be on the theoretical explanation of how your chosen disorder may have developed and should not be a detailed description of the disorder.
  • Discuss possible therapeutic interventions that might be applied in your case, based on your chosen model.
