Why the Drama in Cluster B Personality Disorders

Constant state of artificial crisis, emotional dysregulation, switching, chaos, disruptive behaviors, identity diffusion/disturbance, mixed signals, inconstancy, indeterminacy, capriciousness, arbitrariness, and unpredictability Dramatic-erratic cluster WATCH Apocalypting Narcissist, Borderline: Drama, Crisis, Catastrophizing    • Apocalypting Narcissist, Borderline: Drama...   Dramatization Drama enhances self-efficacy and is a form of external regulation Drama is addictive (a form of risk-taking and also a challenge or mystery) Drama is an element of grandiosity, helps to distort cognition Drama is a narrative that resonates with our sense of childlike wonder and fosters dissociation (like a movie) Drama imposes huge costs in terms of mental resources (depletes) and renders its recipients more malleable and amenable to manipulation (defenseless), it is Machiavellian. Reenactment of early childhood conflicts Approach-avoidance repetition compulsion and the dynamics of insecure attachment Attempts to generate theories of mind and internal working models by probing, testing, and dismantling the world, others, and relationships - the way a child does with a toy Intermittent reinforcement and trauma bonding Monopolizing the presence and attention of others (ersatz object constancy) Channeling and sublimating aggression, projecting punitive introjects and then projective identification But not all drama is created equal.
