Title: Major theories of personality disorder
Description: Following a historical overview that provides an introduction to research issues, contributors articulate their respective views on the nature and organization of personality pathology. Transcending DSM - which describes but does not explain - each author provides an in-depth explication of the fundamental nature of personality disorder.

Providing valuable insight into the growing body of empirical data on the personality disorders, this volume also lays a strong foundation for the next wave of empirical research. As such, it is a valuable resource for all clinicians and researchers working with individuals with personality disorders. An ideal primary text for graduate courses in psychopathology, this accessible volume may also be used as supplementary reading in undergraduate courses in abnormal psychology.
