Publisher's description: 
In his first new book in ten years, David Shapiro extends the stubbornly intuitive clinical vision that informed his phenomenally successful Neurotic Styles to probe the psychopathological. Emphasizing self-regulatory process over biological event, Shapiro's philosophy of mind goes against the current--but with authority...not to mention a built-in audience.
