schizophrenia isn't a personality disorder....it's actually a mental illnes which is considered a brain disease.
you could do a yahoo search for PERSONALITY DISORDERS and take it from there.. you could figure out what you want to write your paper on, and then do searches on that particular disorder.
good luck

One guy in Canada (in jail for abusing his gf), got a judge who's sentance was that this guy not be allowed to have a girlfriend for 3 years and that he enter treatment for his disorder.
exh was bpd...
