To change behaviours, often it's ineffective to address the Behaviours directly as your first step. You need to drill deeper to the underlying Beliefs, and sometimes to the underlying Values.
Personality disorder refers to a class of personality types and enduring behaviours associated with significant distress or disability, which appear to deviate from social expectations particularly in relating to other humans.
Personality disorders are included as mental disorders on Axis II of the diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association and in the mental and behavioral disorders section of the ICD manual of the World Health Organization. Personality, defined psychologically, is the set of enduring behavioral and mental traits that distinguish human beings. Hence, personality disorders are defined by experiences and behaviors that differ from societal norms and expectations. Those diagnosed with a personality disorder may experience difficulties in cognition, emotiveness, interpersonal functioning or control of impulses. In general, personality disorders are diagnosed in 40-60 percent of psychiatric patients, making them the most frequent of all psychiatric diagnoses.
These behavioral patterns in personality disorders are typically associated with substantial disturbances in some behavioral tendencies of an individual, usually involving several areas of the personality, and are nearly always associated with considerable personal and social disruption. Additionally, personality disorders are inflexible and pervasive across many situations, due in large part to the fact that such behavior may be ego-syntonic (i.e. the patterns are consistent with the ego integrity of the individual) and are, therefore, perceived to be appropriate by that individual. This behavior can result in maladaptive coping skills, which may lead to personal problems that induce extreme anxiety, distress or depression. The onset of these patterns of behavior can typically be traced back to early adolescence and the beginning of adulthood and, in some instances, childhood

Maxims of Behaviour
Alexander Knox
Kinetic light installation, 2008
Royal Mail House, cnr of Bourke & Swanston Sts (Melway ref. 2F, F3)
Maxims of Behaviour plays across the distinctive 10-storey, 1960s’ facade of Royal Mail House. Set among the giant billboards and screens of the south-eastern corner of the Bourke and Swanston Streets, Alexander Knox’s kinetic light work can be seen each winter evening from dusk till late, until 2012.
The work features colourful abstract imagery that moves spectral-like across the façade, transforming the site into a dynamic entity, a living thing that inhabits the area. The imagery is produced from abstracted video footage of the city’s light, colour and movement, and it acts as a mimetic device that echoes and feeds off its surrounds. The installation becomes an integral part of the nightscape, complementing the floodlit surroundings, creating an organic synthesis of movement and light. The title of the work is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s poem ‘Phantasmagoria’, in which the author draws an insightful parallel between ghosts and us.
Some 88 multi-coloured LED lights mounted on the ledges of the building facade are used produce the moving montage of light. This matrix of computer-controlled lights projects onto the surface of the building, with each light effectively acting as a pixel. Each night the average energy consumption is equivalent to running a 2400W small electric heater. The LEDs have a lifespan of 100,000 hours; they are very low maintenance and run on green power.
The City of Melbourne commissioned Alexander Knox to make Maxims of Behaviour as part of its Public Art Program.

In the spring of 2008 this nest was built atop a young 8-9' tree. I never saw eggs, but did see and photograph young redwings in it just prior to the June flood. The mother spent much time in the nest...I uploaded a few photos at the time. A male redwing spent its time on a high branch of an adjacent towering evergreen tree...always on lookout.
The flood completely submerged this tree...you can see the dead leaves etc. If there were still babies in the nest they were lost. In this photo, about two weeks after the flood, the male (or another, who knows) spent much time on the nest...perhaps wondering what happened. The female had been back on the nest right after the floodwaters receded, but the nest was otherwise empty.
In the fall the Parks Department came through and removed all of the flood-killed trees and bushes...levelling much of the lakeside land.
Me posing as a hoody on my phone, played with the saturation, brightness and contrast to try and change the image from it's original state considerably.

It can be said that understanding children is no child’s play. If you’re a parent struggling with your toddler behaviour problems, Nurture Parenting is just the thing for you.
InnerBody is the interactive installation where visitors are invited to interact with the human-heart shaped interface and take a fake medical examination. The visitors experience stressful multisensory environments and life-threatening diagnosis as antecedents of death anxiety to provoke positive consequences such as enhanced life meaning. The research outcomes related to use of multisensory interfaces to change user behavior have been accepted for publication in The Leonardo Journal.

Governments around the world are drawing on behavioural insights to improve public policy outcomes: from automatic enrolment for pensions, to better tax compliance, to increasing the supply of organ donation.
But those very same policy makers are also subject to biases that can distort decision making. The Behavioural Insights Team has been studying those biases and what can be done to counter them, in collaboration with Jill Rutter and Julian McCrae of the Institute for Government.
The report was launched with remarks from Alex Chisholm, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
Dr Michael Hallsworth, Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America presented the key findings.
The findings, their relevance to policy making today, and what they mean for the way governments make decisions were discussed by:
Polly Mackenzie, Director of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister, 2010–15 and now Director of Demos
Dr Tony Curzon Price, Economic Advisor to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.
