Summary: Personality Disorders
Rating: 5
This book represents a seminally important contribution, taking us reassuringly through heretofore murky and uncharted waters. Prof. Livesley convincingly integrates and reconciles neuropsychological, social and psychiatric perspectives on Personality Disorders. The author and his contributors deliver a broad set of information for the clinicians involved with the treatment of Personality Disorders and with the research on this, yet fresh enough and deep enough to prove useful to the most experienced specialist.
