1.64 UNSTABLE PERSONALITY -- PSYCHOLOGY ABUSE TERMS, CONCEPTS

==== Unstable Personality

MEANING: While there is an 'emotionally unstable personality disorder', the general use of this term has not been clinically defined, yet it is used a lot in common speech. It refers to personalities that can be any combination of the following: unpredictable, unreliable, impulsive, unable to understand the consequences of their actions, argumentative and explosive.

RELEVANCE TO ABUSE: Many abusive people are also unstable: one day they are all sunshine and light, the next storms and darkness. Sometimes their moods can change within minutes or hours for no particular reason. Often dismissed as moody, such people need to seek therapy while also dealing with their abusive behavior.

RELATED WORDS AND PHRASES: unsteady, undependable, shakiness, unsure
