Scholarly Articles and Books on HPD?

Postby jacfalcon » Mon Apr 01, 2013 8:02 pm

I'm looking for scholarly articles, books, and otherwise to help me write my research paper. I know some histrionic people and can distinguish them from the stereotypes, I've seen the pretty much ONE video online of the recovering histrionic, and I've found a couple of articles, but I'm wondering what else is out there? Thanks!!!

Millon is one authority. So is Kernberg. Going farther back, Reich a student of Freud, did important work on "hysteria," but he was also really eccentric and controversial. If you are into the psychoanalytic and modern approach if you dig up old posts in this forum by "wisdom" you can find a lot of potential good source material to google.
As far as bio-psychological models for HPD (involving neurotransmitters, etc.) there isn't so much research I have heard of, but maybe it's out there.

Past HPD research aside, now HPD has been dropped in the U.S. DSM V - what are the implications for future research?

I'm having trouble with the cursor on my lap top and can't post links at the moment. Google "Western & Shedler" for a host of info.

I wrote a paper on HPD for my abnormal psychology class a couple of years ago. The most useful book I found was "Hysterical Personality Style and Histrionic Personality Disorder" by Mardi J. Horowitz. Pretty much 90% of my citations was from this book. The book is pretty dated, but contained almost everything I wanted to know on HPD. I got it used on Amazon.

I explained to my professor that there was very little out there written about HPD - he nodded and agreed. Astonishingly, he told me in his 30+ years working as a therapist, he had never come across one client that he diagnosed as HPD. He wryly told me not much research is done for HPD; researchers - and people in general - are more interested in BPD.

Other books I cited were "Hysteria" by Bollas and "Emotional Vampires" (lol) by Bernstein, but they were not as useful as Horowitz's. I would get Millon's "Personality Disorders in Modern Life" if I could afford it, lol.
