Description: "Paulina Kernberg and her colleagues support the evidence in hand and the evidence to come. Their developmental perspective informs their identification of emerging pathological features at all levels of personality organization - neurotic, borderline and psychotic. Marshaling evidence from the literature, the authors inflect their review of differential methods of assessing personality traits and behavior patterns with material drawn from their own clinical research and practice."--BOOK JACKET.
