Personality disorders

Sinopse

"Personality Disorders are among the mental disorders for which the gap between research evidence and clinical practice is most significant. They are currently underdiagnosed and undertreated. Even if an appropriate diagnosis is made, treatment is rarely evidence-based. This book aims to review recent progress and current controversies in this area, providing a guide to clinicians and a contribution to the ongoing revision of the main classification systems." "Personality Disorders is an unbiased and reliable reference point for all psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses and policy makers."--Jacket.
