 The Concept of Self  [WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 5]
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 9 of the course textbook, and review sections 2.5, 3.1, and 3.2 from previous chapters. Also, read the articles Children’s Sense of Self: Learning and Meaning in the Digital Age and Personal Self-Concept and Satisfaction With Life in Adolescence, Youth, and Adulthood (Dodge, Barab, Stuckey, Warren, Heiselt, & Stein, 2008; Palacios, Echaniz, Fernández, & Barrón, 2015).
The concept of self is a core concept for the study of personality, and most of the theories we have studied in this course postulate some idea about what constitutes the self. This week’s materials examine the self-psychology model, which presents several theories regarding how we perceive ourselves and how that perception is expressed in personalities.
In your initial post:

• Identify two theories of self from those discussed in Chapter 9 that resonate the most with you.
• Provide a brief overview of each theory, being sure to identify the principal theorists associated with each of your two chosen theories.
• Explain why you relate to these theories.
• Describe the impact of the current digital age on the concept of self, including the impact of social media on the way we perceive ourselves.
• Explain whether or not our perceptions of self are evolving because of social media, including the idea of a digital self, and provide examples of how this might be happening or provide a rationale as to why you believe it is not happening.

Your initial post should be a minimum of 350 words and should include references to both of the assigned articles.
Personality Disorders [WLO: 1] [CLOs: 4, 5]
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–IV Personality Disorder Types (Clarkin, Cain, & Livesley, 2015; Miller, Few, Lynam, & MacKillop, 2015).
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.

Your initial post should be a minimum of 350 words and should incorporate at least one peer-reviewed article.
