Through the British of Psychological Society, a study was done on the effect of Cognitive Analytic Therapy and if it is helpful toward treating Histrionic Personality Disorder. It found itself successful in a three step treatment approach in "(1) state stabilization, (2) modifying communication style and (3) modification of interpersonal reactions, patterns and schemas."

(Kellet, 2017)

HIM might have a revelation with this treatment, BUT not be able to actually be treated. He'll more than likely process himself deeper than before but with wanting to present as powerful, he'll use it as an excuse to act out and pretend further while silently thinking back on himself.

Through a treatment experiment, therapists worked to correct the attention-getting behavior of five women through rewarding appropriate interactions and an improvement was noted after an 18 month follow-up, but no scientific observations were taken.

(Barlow & Durand, 2015)

HIM will actually not improve with this type of treatment. If anything, he will more than likely fake it through the follow-ups and through the treatment plan as a different way in gaining attention.

1. What was the corrective feedback given? The big corrective feedback I got was that though I am not AS wordy as wordy can be, but I was definitely still a bit wordy.

2. How will I address this feedback before my final submission? I will address this feedback by going over my project and deciding what is actually important to have written and what else I can just say verbally.

3. How did it feel giving feedback to peer? Why? I feel fair in giving feedback to peers, though it was still awkward. I was not aggressive with giving it and my partner was not aggressive in giving mine, it was a mutual understanding on that we both had a few things to work on to better our projects.

There is always a caution is labeling someone with a disorder, the label itself having a negative connotation that contributes to the stigma. A stigma that is associated with Histrionic Personality Disorder often being related towards feminine sex, seduction, and being a "drama queen".

Prevalence of Histrionic Personality Disorder

# data[].attributes.body
Prevalance is the number of people who display a certain disorder, the prevalence for Histrionic Personality Disorder being 2.1% in the general population. There is a false idea that females are more likely to have HPD, but males and females have the same amount of likely hood in developing a Histrionic Personality Disorder. The false idea said to have come from biased hospital-based studies.

The Duration of the Frequency and Intensity of HIM's behavior is quite long. It is uncertain how long this feud between His Inferno Majesty has been going on, but it seems to be evident that the beginning of his dysfunctional lifestyle of him being set on the elimination of the Powerpuff Girls with his friendly acts and diabolical performances has become his new norm.

# data[].attributes.body
The Intensity of HIM's behavior related to the 4 D's is clearly evident in that it is a 10/10. His Intensity of Danger can be a 100 when he wants it to be, but during the times he acts more calmer than usual, deviant of his usual attitude, and talks with the girls as if they are friends, his Intensity is less so. From taking over the whole world to possessing a stuffed octopus, HIM does not seem to have limits on how hard he tries in his preformances.

# data[].attributes.body
The Frequency of HIM's behaviors that relate back to the 4 D's seem to extend from the moment he wakes up to the time he decides to go to sleep. HIM is constantly preforming distressing behavior and is shown in the glimpses of when he is not actively attacking the girls or the town, to be still acting in very "pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking."

In combination of his Cognitive, Emotion, and Behavioral actions, HIM exhibits the histrionic in patterns such as "sexually seductive or provocative behavior, displaying social skills to manipulate people, self-dramatization, and extreme emotionality."

(Ercengiz et al., 2021)

# data[].attributes.body
Having this delusion of grandeur is evident and his use of hallucinations to trick the townsfolk and hero's makes it a not so far thought that he might cast these hallucinations on himself. And he is shown to become aggressive to get what he wants.

# data[].attributes.body
He is rather lonely, but does not show himself as such by sometimes being rather inappropriate to distract himself and others in situations where his actions or words were not needed.

# data[].attributes.body
He goes out of his way to affect the girls lives and in turn effects his own every single day. HIM seems to have a type of obsessive compulsion, wanting to be in control of himself and situations, having a fear of losing his power.

(Barlow & Durand, 2015)

# data[].attributes.body
The Danger that HIM appears to convey in the show of Powerpuff girls is obvious with his diabolical plans to destroy the Powerpuff girls phyches. His unlimate goal which is never met being to make the Powerpuff Girl- Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup- clinically insane. His danger to society, himself, and others being his mental tricks and even his few physical attacks towards the townsfolk and girl.

# data[].attributes.body
The Deviance that HIM exhibits is his unusual dress that is not usually connected with his expressed gender and name. The deviated look from what is usually expected of a devil is evident as well, wearing a rather feminine article of clothing and wearing makeup like mascara and rosy pink blush and black lipsticks while often being seen in Pink.

# data[].attributes.body
HIM expresses Distress through the abnormal behavior he exhibits throughout the show. Intrusive thoughts of hurting the girls is one example, another being his quick impulses to surprise situations where he might not be fully in control.

# data[].attributes.body
There is not a childhood backstory to go off of and find when HIM first began to become dysfunctional from his regular routine and become so evil, but we can find dysfunction in HIM's disturbance in his cognition, emotion, and behavior.

# data[].attributes.body
HIM is an acronym for His Inferno Majesty. HIM wants to make the Powerpuff Girls clinically insane.

"Consistently uses physical appearance to draw attention to self."

He draws attention to himself so that he will be remembered not only for his works of psychological art, but also his looks. In being able to shapeshift, he takes on the forms of different sizes and shapes, he will shapeshift into whatever he needs to get the attention of one of the girls to manipulate them into fighting.

(American Psychiatric Association, 2022; McCracken, 1998)

"Shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion."

When confronted by the girls after being defeated from an attack on the towns people to turn against the girls, HIM shakes his head, saying that he never delivers repeat performances of his character, work, and emotions. He is often telling of his disgust of the girls before putting a diabolical performance into action.

(American Psychiatric Association, 2022; McCracken, 1998)

"Considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are."

HIM is considered the most dangerous villain to the powerpuff girls and even other villains, but when conversations are had between HIM and either the powerpuff girls or Mojo Jojo and others, his demeanor is that of simply talking to a friend. He acts as if he has intimate and close relationships with the girls and the other villains inside the show while knowing that he wishes harm on all of them.

(American Psychiatric Association, 2022; McCracken, 1998)

# data[].attributes.body
"Interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior."

HIM often acts in a more provocative manner towards Professor Utonium, the powerpuff girls father, whenever he is able to get his hands on the professor- usually when the professor is under a spell of his. Like in the example above, HIM caresses the professor's cheek and even licks it while taunting the girls right in front of them.

The possible diagnoses that I am assigning to HIM is Histrionic Personality Disorder, "a psychiatric disorder comprising seductiveness, emotional shallowness, and dramatics", due to his theatrical attitude and attention-seeking character.

HIM, seeming to be a representation for the devil, is from the 1998 Powerpuff Girls series created by Craig McCracken. The evil motives of HIM are never really known as he is different from the other villains in the show as while the other villains are wishing to harm Townsville through a physical means, HIM uses more psychological methods to harm the Powerpuff girls relationships.

(McCracken, 1998)
