Brian Thomas Shannon Peralta
I am a Catholic relgious brother, member of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae. I was born in Peru, son of an Irish father and a Peruvian mother. I graduated from law school in 1998 and worked for a very brief time in business and tax law in Peru. After an experience of conversion and discernment I decided to enter the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae to become a relgious brother. In 2008, after almost 10 years of religious formation, I was able to profess my perpetual vows. Currently I am pursuing a master of science in counseling psychology.
As a religious brother, I have lived in Peru, Brazil and today I live in Colorado, U.S. I work with the youth, giving retreats, spiritual direction and organizing mission trips.

Individual Differences and Biases in Personality Disorder DiagnosisPersonality constructs allow psychologists to express universal propositions about behavior. Yet clinicians must use these constructs as mere reference points because clients always flesh them out imprinting a personal tone.
