Synopsis

Having a personality disorder is different from simply having personality quirks. Quirks or eccentricities are considered normal; however, when certain dominant personality traits interfere with healthy psychological functioning, a personality disorder might be the cause.

This volume provides readers with all the information they need to know about personality disorders, including how to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage the varying signs and symptoms of the 10 personality disorders currently recognized.

The latest installment in the Inside Diseases and Disorders series, this book offers a complete overview of the history, diagnosis, and treatment of personality disorders. Using recent scholarship and case studies, it also explores the impact these disorders can have on patients and their families.
