The Link Between Cluster B Personality Disorders and Abusive Childhoods
Cluster B personality disorders, including all subtypes, are often linked to abusive and neglectful childhoods. This trauma can impact an individual's development and lead to these disorders. The rate of child abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, abandonment, and neglect is significantly high among those diagnosed with these disorders. It is important to acknowledge the correlation between childhood abuse and the development of these disorders. Furthermore, there is a prevalence of individuals who engage in child sexual abuse having experienced abuse themselves. This correlation cannot be ignored.
