Personality Disorders: Recognition and Clinical Management Book

Personality disorders consist of long-term patterns of maladaptive behaviour which have a generally unrecognised importance in clinical practice. However, they are the origins of many medical consultations and social ills, including substance abuse, alcoholism, self-harm, suicide, child neglect, criminality and HIV transmission. Dispelling the myth that personality disorder is simply a category for problem individuals for whom nothing can be done, this book provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the features of personality disorders and their management in clinical practice.Read More

  • Product Description

    Although the importance of personality disorders have not generally been recognized in clinical practice, they are the origins of many medical consultations and social ills: from substance abuse, alcoholism, self-harm, and suicide, to neglect of children, criminality and HIV transmission. In a comprehensive summary and evaluation of the clinical literature, this book seeks to dispel the myth that people with personality disorders are simply individuals for whom nothing can be done. With detailed coverage of recognition, assessment and management, Drs. Dowson and Grounds provide a coordinated empirically-based account of those aspects of personality disorders that are of relevance to psychiatrists and allied disciplines.
