My industry is not on medical field. So basically, I don't know much about Personality disorders. I cannot judge the book easily based on the reviews of other people, but I am open. The content is simplified, and informative. Rivers provided basic knowledge of the subject. Bought this book to understand more about mental disorders. A good friend of mine, a high school classmate back then, and now a nurse was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. I feel terrible watching her have delusional beliefs. I was crying when her mom told me one incident that happened in their house. I'd like to show moral support to the family. More than ever, they needed understanding more than the judgement. I learned the different types of Personality Disorders, and how most of these terms are being used by people interchangeably. I also learned a lot of misconceptions and myths about psychopathy, as well as facts, characteristics, traits and figures.
