Understand what a Personality Disorder (PD) is and ten specific types of them (identified by the DSM-5). In addition, master the four areas of functioning that are impacted by the PDs. Learn strategies for changing very rigid personality patterns. Apply what you've learned to actual case studies and review the key challenges involved with such problems.
I have a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Chicago and I'm a full-time faculty member in the Psychology Department at a large state university in California. I have taught at the college level for more than 20 years. I teach both in-person and online. Currently, I lecture on Abnormal Psychology, Critical Thinking, and the Field Placement Courses on a regular basis for students at our university. I love being with students in any sort of learning environment.
