The Office (2005-2013), was a mockumentary television series that featured a myriad of hilarious characters.  Watch the videos below that showcase the show’s characters; Kelly Kapoor, Michael Scott, and Dwight Schrute.  For each character, select a personality disorder that could be diagnosed based on their behavior in the video.  Provide specific examples that made you make this decision.  There’s no right or wrong answer.  This is just an exercise to familiarize yourself with the behaviors of individuals with personality disorders. The DSM-5 should always be used as a tool to help others, not to weaponize or stigmatize others.  If you are unfamiliar with the show, pictures below state who Kapoor, Scott, and Schrute are in the videos.

You are working as an APRN in your local primary care office. The rural town of Maynard has 300 people, a post office, doctor’s office, and a gas station. The primary source of income is farming or driving 45 minutes to a somewhat larger town. With the blizzard coming, all your patients except two have cancelled for the morning. Jose is scheduled at 0900; he is a nine-year-old Hispanic male born in Mexico. He and his family (Mom, Dad, and six siblings, ages six months to 14 years) moved into the area just a few months ago. Jose’s mother reported that he had nearly died at two months after contracting pertussis.

Your final patient of the morning is Irena, a 15-year-old teenage female who lives with her aunt in Maynard. Irena is Romanian and barely speaks any English. Her aunt has been your patient for the past few years, and she told you that Irena had been abducted in Romania at the age of 10. Irena’s parents found her quite by accident when a sex trafficking ring dumped all their “product” in a refugee camp in Serbia just a few months ago. Irena’s parents are still in Romania, but they sent Irena here to live with her aunt.
