Through behavioral modification, intentional or unintentional (though consistent in application of behavioral modification techniques), is it the case that in matters of personality disorders outside of those operating on biological bases of behavior, that these cases may generalize from stress related situations to strain related situations? So, effectively an adaptive personality (resultant from underlying sociologically and psychologically defined phenomena) can maladaptively generalize toward strain, therefore suspending/interrupting strain-resolving strategies (i.e., challenge/skill strategies).
If this is the case, then strain and stress can be considered as alternate situational spaces for relative situated identities to be worked with in the realm of CBT and its work with schemas which may be reconsolidated to first re-situate (i.e., behaviorally discriminate) personality back to stress situations and extinguish its behavioral set in response to stress situations. Effectively this would restore stress/strain division where personality is an adaptive stress response. That said, of course personality structure may be built on inappropriately conditioned structures based in biological and sociological/social conditioning/internalization, but in this case it the personality structure had been adaptive within the environment of its framing, and in most cases, situated to the stress environment it is adapted to.
As these might be the cases, this would fall under a basic psychological process (BPP; as opposed to a basic social process [BSP]) as “maladaptive personality generalization”, where its definition is consolidated to, a basic psychological process whereby personality types adapted to [redacted] acute stress stimuli are generalized to chronic, persistent, and intermittent strain stimuli where said stimuli are on schedules inviting scheduled reinforcement etc.
If this is the case, then to re-adapt personality structures in disordered states leading to distress/dysfunction in social and work situations, though limited by biological bases, if this is contributive, one would first need to re-establish stimulus discriminated personality structures through something akin to differential reinforcement of alternate behavior (DRA), where behavior is an interchangeable indicator for [redacted]. In this way personality display in appropriate stress environments is increased, and in non-appropriate strain environments is decreased. Effectively this is what is occurring in behavior modification of specific behaviors, but where behavior is generalized to cognition, and affect using similar techniques. This is evidenced already in cognitive behavioral therapy. However the approach here might be a more expedited explanation and offer expedited implementations.
Step 1: Situate the Personality Structure as Identity or Intersectional Identity
Step 2: Execute Behavioral Assessment on the Displays of Identity
Step 3: Draft Behavior Modification Plan of Identity Display
Step 4: Execute Behavior Modification Plan
Step 5: Maintain Behavior Modification Plan
