Masterson's Update

In this wonderful book, Dr. Masterson updates his groundbreaking work on the treatment of the Disorders of the Self (personality disorders). In his deceptively simple and straightfoward style Dr. Masterson gets to the essence of the personality disorders and their treatment. This is a must read for anyone who is treating personality disorders.

User-friendly introduction to Masterson's work

As a beginning student of object relations theory, I found Masterson's latest work to be accessible, challenging, and clinically useful in terms of conceptualizing the often subtle nuances of disorders of the self. Highly recommend!
