Understanding Turnerian Personality Disorder: Characteristics and Behaviors

Turnerian is a term used in the field of psychology to describe a particular type of personality disorder. It is named after Dr. Henry Turner, who first described this type of disorder in the 1970s.

A person with a Turnerian personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of behavior that includes:

* A need for control and power over others
* A tendency to manipulate or exploit others for personal gain
* A lack of empathy or remorse for harming others
* A tendency to be impulsive and act on instinct without considering the consequences
* A tendency to engage in risky or dangerous behaviors
* A tendency to be easily bored and seek out new, exciting experiences

It is important to note that this term is not an official diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and it is not widely recognized by the mental health community. However, some researchers and clinicians have found it to be a useful way to describe a particular type of personality disorder that is characterized by a need for control and power over others.
