Treatment of Personality Disorders

This monograph arose from presentations given at both the First and Second European Congresses on Disorders of Personality. It was realized that there was a need to clarify if, and how, diagnostic underpinnings and assumptions are coherent with therapeutic strategies in personality disorders. The book aims to bring the more theoretical domain of diagnosis closer to the more clinical and pragmatic domain of therapy. Additionally, the text represents a stricter collaboration between researchers and clinicians from different European countries and also from America.
