Psychology Today
Psychology Today
is a website dedicated to providing a wide variety of information on mental
health, including information about personality disorders. I rate this site a 3
out 5 as it provides information, albeit limited, on personality disorders as
well as links other sites that provide information that would be useful and
helpful for clients seeking to learn more about their diagnosis outside of the
therapy session.
This website provides a ton of information
on the latest psychopharmacology, research and news in the mental health field,
as well as information, articles and resources for Personality Disorders. I
rate this site a 4 out of 5 as it provides loads of helpful information and
resources for personality disorders that would be helpful to clients looking
for self-help resources.
The National
Institute of Mental Health website is a great resource for research opportunities,
outreach, educational resources and information on cutting edge drugs and
treatments in the mental health field. I rate this site a 5 out of 5 stars as
the information it provides on BPD and other personality disorders is
comprehensive, accurate and easy to understand; which is a perfect combination
to recommend to a client looking to do their own research on a PD diagnosis.
The National
Alliance on Mental Illness website is a great one in that it provides a broad
spectrum of information on Personality Disorders not seen on other sites, such
as, theoretical approaches appropriate for PD treatment, medication and
medication management, and co-occurring disorders. I rate this site a 4 out of
5 stars for the level of comprehensiveness in the information provided,
however, while useful for counselors some of the information provided may be
above the heads of many clients looking to learn more about PDs, who may need
to bring the information in to session to process if they have questions.
The American
Psychological Association also provides information on a wide spectrum of
mental illness topics, research and education information. I rate it a 4 out of
5 stars for clients as it provides resources for finding providers, suggested
readings and articles related to PD’s.

DBT Self help
This website is a great self-help resource
that provides information and informal trainings on DBT from people who have
undergone therapy and want to share their experiences and stories. I rate this
website a 4 out of 5 stars as it is a great supplemental site for people with
BPD going through DBT therapy or considering starting DBT. This site would be
great for clients wanting to learn more about DBT and BPD from people who have
been through the recovery process.
This website is the online Home for the
National Education Alliance on BPD, an organization dedicated to raising
awareness for, providing education on and promoting research and legislative
acts in order to enhance the quality of life for people living with BPD. I rate
this site 5 out of 5 stars, as it not only provides resources and education for
BPD but also provides information for how to get involved, which would be a
healthy way for clients with BPD to learn more about the disorder and how to
advocate for themselves and others.
This website provides medical information on
a variety of physical and mental health disorders. I rate it a 2 out of 5 as it
is not as comprehensive as some of my other top 10 picks and not as reliable as
the other sources. However, it does provide information on treatment and mental
health providers that could be of use to clients diagnosed with personality
disorders.
