Product Description
Review
'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

The book goes through each and every personality disorder one at a time. This made it very easy to research one specific problem without having to sift through pages and pages of irrelevant information for the task at hand.
Within each chapter Beck defines the typical automatic thoughts, or faulty reasoning, that is commonly associated with the personality disorders. He then gives broad treatment plans and goals to deal with the symptoms.
Beck is very well organized and succienct. You will walk away from even a short reading of this book feeling more confident and better equipped to deal with the disorders without the usually doubts that maybe you didnt get the whole gist of what the author was trying to say.
I felt that this was extremely well done. I also appreciate that Beck does not promise more then he can deliver and he is the first one to say that outcomes for Axis II disorders are still poor compared with Axis I.
