Two participants were diagnosed with BPD, five with avoidant personality disorder and telehealth psychology one met criteria for avoidant personality disorder with comorbid schizoid and dependent personality disorders. The child modes include the Vulnerable Child, the Contented Child, the Angry Child, the Impulsive, Undisciplined Child, and the Pleasure-Seeking, Spontaneous Child.
