Personality Disorders in Modern Life is a remarkable new text that will widen your perspective of psychopathology. This book covers all personality disorders in the DSM-IV from a variety of perspectives with balanced coverage of the biological, psychodynamic, interpersonal, cognitive, and evolutionary perspectives. Invaluable for teaching students about Axis II disorders, as well as for clinicians and human resource professionals. The Oxford Textbook of Psychopathology is intended to serve both as a textbook in graduate courses in adult psychopathology and as a resource for professionals in mental health. Most chapters focus on specific diagnostic categories or groupings commonly seen by professionals, and are written by specialists in the field.
Considerable attention is given to the personality disorders.
The emphasis throughout the book is upon psychopathology per se, namely the theory, history, and description of the diagnostic syndromes included. Chapters were contributed by Robert Craig, Carrie Millon and Sarah Meagher, Robert Tringone, Stephen Strack, and Lawrence Weiss. This book covers administration, scoring, and interpretation of the Millon inventories in a user friendly format that is geared towards the practitioner. The first book devoted exclusively to the MACI, this resource will prove a helpful guide for understanding the test, interpreting the results in clinical evaluation, and making appropriate recommendations for treatment and care management. Illustrated with richly detailed and in-depth case examples, it explores the utility of these tools in a broad range of clinical contexts, including forensic, neuropsychological, marital counseling, correctional, substance abuse settings.
