You're not kidding when you say controversial. I think it would help those
of us who are not trained clinical psychologists if you could define what
you mean by personality disorder, and perhaps give us some examples. Two
other things: are you saying that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is
somehow heritable? And (I may have missed this earlier in the discussion)
does your peer counseling address those with some stress but not PTSD, and
how do untrained people discern the difference.
It's an interesting topic I would like to hear more.
