Description
Traditionally, personality and psychopathology have been distinct areas of inquiry. This important volume reviews influential research programs that increasingly bridge the gap between the two areas. Presented are compelling perspectives on whether certain personality traits or structures confer risks for mental illness, how temperament interacts with other influences on psychological adaptation, links between personality disorders and mood and anxiety disorders, implications for effective intervention, and more.
Reviews / Votes
'The editors have brought together prominent theorists and researchers who contend that personality is the foundation for a better understanding of the nature and treatment of psychopathology. As they explore the intersection of traditional psychological science and clinical practice, the contributors illuminate promising links and directions that will inspire further integration. A stimulating text not only for graduate psychology courses, but for psychiatric residency programs as well.' - Theodore Millon, PhD, DSc, Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology'This volume offers a most comprehensive and authoritative overview of perspectives on relations between personality and psychopathology. The full range of topics is covered, from assessment approaches for adults, adolescents, and children; to behavioral genetics and neurobehavioral models; to clinical applications of psychodynamic and trait models of personality pathology. Most of the chapters will be broadly accessible to graduate students, and those that are more challenging are well worth the effort. I particularly appreciated 'Perceptions of Self and Others Regarding Pathological Personality Traits,' which is simultaneously extraordinarily comprehensive, systematic, and fascinating, and 'The Construct of Emotion as a Bridge Between Personality and Psychopathology,' which offers the most lucid description of a biological perspective on emotions that I have seen. Congratulations are in order to the editors and authors!' - Lee Anna Clark, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of Iowa
'Theory and research on the role of personality in psychopathology is undergoing a renaissance, with important implications for revising our classification system; tracing the complex pathways between genes, neurobiological systems, and abnormal behavior; and developing novel interventions. This outstanding volume presents the latest work from many of the most stimulating and integrative thinkers in the field, and provides a good look at where the field of psychopathology may be heading in the coming decade. This book will be of interest to researchers, clinicians, and students in clinical psychology and psychiatry, as well as individuals interested in theory and research on personality, emotion and motivation, and affective neuroscience. It would be an excellent text for a graduate seminar or advanced undergraduate course on personality and psychopathology, and a valuable supplementary text for a graduate course on psychopathology.' - Daniel N. Klein, PhD, Department of Psychology, Stony Brook University 'The editors have brought together prominent theorists and researchers who contend that personality is the foundation for a better understanding of the nature and treatment of psychopathology.
