Personalities with '''disturbed character''' are unencumbered by qualms of conscience and passionately pursue their personal goals with indifference to - and often at expense of - the rights and needs of others, and cause all sorts of problems for others and society at large. Character-disordered personalities lack self-restraint when it comes to acting upon their primal urges. They have too little conscience or in extreme case no conscience at all. They typically resist making concessions to societal demands, may have some antisocial tendencies and have diminished capacities for experiencing genuine shame or guilt.
Erroneous thinking patterns and attitudes underlie dysfunctional behaviors they display. These problematic behavior patterns may be habitual and automatic, but also they are conscious and deliberate.
The distorted characters resists changing their attitudes and core beliefs despite they have plenty of insight and awareness. What they need and can benefit from are:
*limits
*confrontation
*an most especially correction.
:Cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approaches are the most appropriate in this regard.
When dealing with disturbed characters, it is however also important to craft win-win scenarios so that they do not feel like they have to lose.<ref name="Simon">{{cite book
