Book Description

This landmark work was the first to present a cognitive framework for understanding and treating personality disorders. Part I lays out the conceptual, empirical, and clinical foundations of effective work with this highly challenging population, reviews cognitive aspects of Axis II disorders, and delineates general treatment principles. In Part II, chapters detail the process of cognitive-behavioral therapy for each of the specific disorders, review the clinical literature, guide the therapist through diagnosis and case conceptualization, and demonstrate the nuts and bolts of cognitive intervention.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Books from Dr. Beck and his associates have invariably displayed originality, scholarship, and depth, as well as profound sensitivity to the problems of patients with all forms of psychological difficulty. In this singular new edition of a classic treatment guide, the authors once again demonstrate their groundbreaking cognitive model of the personality disorders. Presented is an expanded, even more powerful set of extraordinary conceptual and clinical tools. This volume can be recommended enthusiastically to all who work with this difficult patient population, including experienced clinicians as well as novice practitioners and graduate students. Clinically rich, insightful, and humane.”–Theodore Millon, PhD, DSc, Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology

“Personality disorders cause untold suffering in millions of people, and empirically supported therapies are almost nonexistent. What is the scientist-practitioner to do? Application of cognitive-behavioral conceptualizations and interventions makes obvious sense. This volume, a revised and updated edition of a classic, is essential reading for students, teachers, clinicians, and researchers who seek to understand and treat these debilitating disorders.”–Jacqueline B. Persons, PhD, San Francisco Bay Area Center for Cognitive Therapy and University of California, Berkeley

“Remarkably clear and well-articulated, this volume makes substantial new contributions by further elaborating and specifying the cognitive theory of personality disorders, reviewing new research on both the theory and therapy, and providing detailed discussions (with new clinical case illustrations) of assessment and treatment of ten different personality disorders. It also provides recommendations on how to manage the therapeutic relationship and create individualized approaches for particular patients. Informed by the work of thirteen expert practitioners, the volume combines state-of-the art theoretical and technical knowledge with critical clinical experience, judgment, and wisdom. All practitioners of cognitive or behavioral psychotherapy, as well as more psychodynamically oriented clinicians, will benefit immensely from this work, as will clinical psychology students, psychiatric residents, and students in related fields. The clear conceptualization of the personality disorders and practical illustrations of how to apply these concepts in practice will undoubtedly improve the reader’s treatment skills, therapeutic results, and day-to-day professional satisfaction.”–A. John Rush, MD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas

“An integrative, pragmatic book, which draws upon cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and even psychodynamic traditions. It is bold and ambitious, and it is necessary reading for those interested in the development of personality disorders, and in the development of personality itself.” ― Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews Published On: 2006-12-21
