Abstract
offers a scientifically balanced evaluation of competing theoretical perspectives and nosological systems for personality disorders. Editors William T. O'Donohue, Scott O. Lilienfeld, and Katherine A. Fowler have brought together recognized authorities in the field to offer a synthesis of competing perspectives that provide readers with the richest and most nuanced assessment possible for each disorder. The result is a comprehensive, current, and critical summary of research and practice guidelines related to the personality disorders.
Separate chapters are dedicated to each personality disorder and considered from various points of view.;
Leading scholars and researchers in the field provide a critical evaluation of alternative perspectives on each personality disorder.;
Cutting edge and streamlined research is presented to be used in courses on diagnosis, assessment, psychopathology and abnormal psychology, especially those that include the DSM-IV.;
Wherever possible, case examples are offered as illustrations of each disorder's clinical presentation.;
Each contributor takes the approach of a user-friendly summary and integration of major trends, findings, and future directions.
This is an excellent supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on adult psychopathology in the departments of psychology, psychiatry, social work, counseling, and marriage and family therapy.
