good book

I bought this with a few others like it because I was in need to research this disorder. I didn't read it cover to cover, but the information I pulled from it was very useful.

This book really shows how to recognize and work with children with personality disorders It truly amazed me...I could relate to what the book is about because one of my children has a personality disorder.Overall, it's one of the best books on that subject.Bravo, bravo.Shloime Levkowitz
