Product Description

Product Description
Presenting an integrated personality theory, this book shows how basic existential and developmental issues underlie the severe pathology of personality disorders, the nagging symptoms of neurosis, and the more functional coping and adaptation of character styles. It details both an external description of these personalities along the continuum of psychic structure and the internal experience that makes human behaviour understandable and worthy of empathy.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, useful and insightful aid to therapy, 23 Nov 2001
By Self-help junkie (Birmingham, England) - See all my reviews
As a full-time counsellor, I have found this book to be tremendously useful. Johnson paints a succinct portrait of the characteristics of 7 basic personality types and these portraits have helped me to understand clients who might otherwise have remained baffling. He draws heavily on psychoanalrytic insight, but tempers this with modern reseach and other approaches to therapy - e.g. humanistic, TA, and Rogerian therapy. This is a book I am very glad to have on my shelf, and is one to which I refer again and again to work more effectively with my clients. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars in my review is that I found the first three introductory chapters unnecessarily ponderous and jargon-loaded - the rest of the book is much more accessible and useful.
