Some questions toconsider: What job might this person blend in with? What job mightbe difficult for the person or where they’d stand out? How is thisperson’s style of interpersonal relationships? How does the personview the world? How is the person’s life affected by thesedisorders? A case study is a portrayal through examples.This should express both disorders – again, one must be apersonality disorder.
