The practical guide to personality disorders (Understanding and Managing Behavioral Disorders)

By Patrick Tan, WILLIAM VANDEN, Charles Guérini

Dive into an in-depth examination of personality disorders, a complex and often misunderstood field of psychology. This volume revolves around a meticulous analysis of the ten currently recognized personality disorders, offering a detailed overview of the signs, symptoms, and implications of each condition. It is essential to distinguish personality quirks or eccentricities, considered normal variations of human behavior, from true personality disorders that significantly interfere with healthy psychological functioning. The book aims to clarify this distinction by exploring the nuances and subtleties that characterize these disorders. Drawing on case studies and academic research, the volume explores the rich history of the evaluation and classification of personality disorders, while shedding light on the impact these disorders can have on the patient's immediate surroundings, be it family members or close friends. Treatments and therapeutic strategies are not overlooked, as the book also delves into current intervention and management approaches. An essential work for psychology professionals, students, and anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of human personality.
