Personality Disorders

Elements, History, Examples, and Research
A comprehensive introduction to different types of personality disorders - their defining symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and illustrative cases.

This sourcebook offers a systematic and accessible introduction to ten recognized personality disorders. Each chapter presents a comprehensive and in-depth picture of a particular disorder and its impact not only on those who suffer from it but also on family, friends, and colleagues as well as the community at large.

Each chapter focuses on a specific disorder in depth, exploring important parameters such as symptoms, diagnosis, incidence, history, development, causes, effects, and costs. Relevant case studies and “Up Close” sections illustrate how the disorder may manifest in different environments, shedding light on how the disorder can influence a person's interactions within society, at work, and in personal relationships.
The book also delves into current research and theoretical frameworks, offering readers a well-rounded understanding of each disorder. Every chapter closes with a discussion of various treatment approaches and references for further reading.
The Health and Psychology Sourcebooks series is ideal for undergraduate students, practitioners, and general readers interested in learning more about these conditions.
