The Oxford Handbook of Personality Disorders by Thomas Widiger
This text provides a summary of the latest information concerning the diagnosis, assessment, construct validity, etiology, pathology, and treatment of personality disorders. It brings together leading scholars, researchers, and clinicians from a wide variety of theoretical perspectives, emphasizing in each case extent of empirical support.
The Oxford Handbook of Personality Disorders testifies to the fields vitality: It documents a rich and varied literature spanning basic biological mechanisms and cultural influences that will appeal to researchers and clinicians alike and indeed to anyone with an interest in mental health seeking an in-depth understanding of personality disorderAnyone who has read the 38 chapters cannot but be impressed by the wealth of information that has accumulated in the 30-plus years since the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSMIII; American Psychiatric Association, 1980) was published... It provides a comprehensive overview so that anyone reading it will be well informed about the current state of personality disorder research and practice. I am not familiar with any other volume that is as comprehensive or as up to date. * PsycCRITIQUES, August 2013 *
