> is there a specific kind of therapy that works best for personality disorders?
I guess that depends on the disorder. I really don't know very much about them, except to say that medication can be helpful for some of them. Trileptal helps with impulse control, anger, and aggressiveness. Zoloft can also help with aggressiveness and anger. I think Trileptal is also helpful for treating borderline personality disorder when combined with an antipsychotic. One woman I know with BPD did very well with Zyprexa. Because her body weight increased so much, she was switched over to Risperdal and seems to be doing ok. I don't know what her dosage is.
