A revolutionary, personalized psychotherapy approach for the
treatment of Axis II personality disorders, by renowned expert Dr.
Theodore Millon
Acknowledging the primacy of the whole person, Overcoming Resistant
Personality Disorders: A Personalized Psychotherapy Approach takes
into account all of the complexities of human nature–family
influences, culture, neurobiological processes, unconscious
memories, and so on–illustrating that no part of human nature
should lie outside the scope of a clinician’s regard.
Part of a three-book series, this book provides you with a unique
combination of conceptual background and step-by-step practical
advice to guide your treatment of Axis II personality
disorders.
Detailed case studies are provided throughout the text to
illustrate the strategies of personalized psychotherapy for:
* The Needy/Dependent Prototype
* The Sociable/Histrionic Prototype
* The Confident/Narcissistic Prototype
* The Nonconforming/Antisocial Prototype
* The Assertive/Sadistic Prototype
* The Conscientious/Compulsive Prototype
* The Skeptical/Negativistic Prototype
Destined to become an essential reference for trainees and
professionals, this book makes a revolutionary call to return
therapy to the natural reality of each patient’s life, seamlessly
guiding you in understanding the personality and treatment of the
whole, unique, yet complex person.
