Q and A Lab: Paranoid Personalities

This Q &A Lab focuses on two questions about possible paranoid personality behaviors and high conflict behaviors, including:

  • Combative, Aggressive, Violent, Blaming 19-year-old Son
    • The parent of 19-year-old with combative, aggressive, violent behaviors (including spitting on his parent) and demands that the parent admit abusing him as a young child. Bill and Megan will discuss:
      • What can this parent do when the son becomes infuriated when the parent won’t admit to the false allegation that he/she was an abusive parent?
      • How can the parent establish boundaries with the son related to money and other assistance when being bullied?
  • Conspiracy-minded, Blaming Teammate
    • A member of a team has to deal with a blaming, accusing teammate who seemed to be paranoid and consistently dismissive and rude. Bill and Megan will answer whether this person could possible have a paranoid personality and/or a high conflict personality.
