E-Books →The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Personality Disorders, 3rd Edition

Personality―what makes each of us unique and different from one another―has long been a matter of universal fascination. It is a subject that has occupied the psychiatric\/psychological arenas as well, and the advent of standardized diagnostic systems has led to an expansion of empirical and clinical research on personality disorders.\n\nThis third edition of the The American Psychiatric Association Publishing Textbook of Personality Disorders distills recent data, updating the information most relevant to clinicians. Through dozens of tables, illustrative figures, and real\-life case examples, established experts in the field, as well as a new generation of scientists, examine clinical concepts; risk factors for and impact of personality disorders; treatment options (including a new chapter on early identification of borderline psychopathology in children); special populations; and future directions for the field.\n\nFor clinicians looking to remain at the forefront of a rapidly changing and developing field, there is no resource more comprehensive or essential.
