This landmark work was the first to present a cognitive framework for understanding and treating personality disorders. Part I lays out the conceptual, empirical, and clinical foundations of effective work with this highly challenging population, reviews cognitive aspects of Axis II disorders, and delineates general treatment principles. In Part II, chapters detail the process of cognitive-behavioral therapy for each of the specific disorders, review the clinical literature, guide the therapist through diagnosis and case conceptualization, and demonstrate the nuts and bolts of cognitive intervention.

'An integrative, pragmatic text, which draws upon cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and even psychodynamic traditions. It is bold and ambitious, and it is necessary reading for those interested in the development of personality disorders, and in the development of personality itself.' - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews
'Personality disorders cause untold suffering in millions of people, and empirically supported therapies are almost nonexistent. What is the scientist-practitioner to do? Application of cognitive-behavioral conceptualizations and interventions makes obvious sense. This volume, a revised and updated edition of a classic, is essential reading for students, teachers, clinicians, and researchers who seek to understand and treat these debilitating disorders.' - Jacqueline B. Persons, PhD
'Books from Dr. Beck and his associates have invariably displayed originality, scholarship, and depth, as well as profound sensitivity to the problems of patients with all forms of psychological difficulty. In this singular [volume], the authors once again demonstrate their groundbreaking cognitive model of the personality disorders... This volume can be recommended enthusiastically to all who work with this difficult patient population.' - Theodore Millon, PhD, DSc
'Informed by the work of thirteen expert practitioners, the volume combines state-of-the art theoretical and technical knowledge with critical clinical experience, judgment, and wisdom... The clear conceptualization of the personality disorders and practical illustrations of how to apply these concepts in practice will undoubtedly improve the reader's treatment skills, therapeutic results, and day-to-day professional satisfaction.' - A. John Rush, MD
