Personality Disorders
There are about ten different types of personality disorders, but some themes tie them together. They are characterized by distorted thinking patterns, problematic emotional responses, over- or under-regulated impulse control, and interpersonal difficulties.
There are at least two examples of personality disorder in the Bible: Samson and Gomer. See their stories below.
Samson is a classic example of narcissistic personality disorder. He is driven by a need for attention and wants people to admire him. He lacks the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.
Gomer is a classic example of someone
with borderline personality disorder. She
is plagued by identity questions, sexual extremes, and unstable relationships.
