Product Description
Review
This is a wonderful book, a breath of fresh air in a fast-growing, important literature. Written with clarity and broad perspective, this book successfully integrates an astonishing range of material. A systematic portrait of human personality, both normal and abnormal, is presented, from which is derived a logical, coherent, individualized plan of treatment for those who need it. The comprehensive nature of this book makes it ideal for use in the classroom. - John M. Oldham, MD
Livesley offers a systematic schema and sequence for treating personality disorders, which he conceptualizes as failures in adaptive functioning. He presents an integrative treatment model that can be tailored to contain the individual's symptoms, regulate affects and impulses, and remediate interpersonal problems and maladaptive traits. This clearly written book will prove highly useful as a guide for professionals, residents, and graduate students alike, pointing out new avenues for managing not only the classical personality disorders, but also psychopathology in general. - Theodore Millon, PhD, Dsc
With this book, Dr. Livesley provides one of the most creative and innovative contributions in many years to the conceptualization, understanding, and treatment of personality disorders... Dr. Livesley beautifully brings together a sophisticated understanding of a vast research literature with years of direct, intensive clinical experience. He offers systematic, pragmatic advice for clinicians involved in the frustrating task of treating personality disorders, demonstrating how meaningful change in personality functioning can and does occur. Clinicians and researchers will find common ground in this text, which exemplifies the best of both worlds. - Thomas A. Widiger, PhD
