Assignment: Triggers and Communication

Benjamin “Tony” Atkins

After determining the type of personality disorder your individual has, you will now research common triggers that are associated with the disorder and determine which were present in the individual’s background.

How would these triggers differ if the individual was either a psychopath or a sociopath (whichever disorder he or she does not have)? Include any risk factors you may expect to be associated with a particular trigger.

Based on the personality disorder, determine appropriate communication skills that could be used when interacting with this individual and attempting to obtain information.

Which communication approaches would not be effective for this individual’s personality disorder? Justify your determinations.
