1.1 Is Frequent Rage a Personality Disorder?

DSM-5 has suggested that a “dimensional” approach to the diagnosis of personality disorders should be considered for possible use in future revisions of DSM-5. In such an approach, the presence of a single, dysfunctional trait ― such as anger ― could result in a diagnosis of personality disorder if that trait caused severe impairment. This video focuses on the symptoms of and treatment for a man with intense and distressing anger. His angry outbursts, which typically occur when he is driving, are often followed by feelings of shame and regret. The video shows two sessions of anger management therapy.
