This 8th volume of the WPA series in Evidence and
Experience in Psychiatry provides an update of research evidence
and clinical experience concerning personality disorders.
A general term for a group of behavioural disorders, personality
disorders are usually characterised by lifelong, ingrained,
maladaptive patterns of deviant behaviour, lifestyle and social
adjustment that are different in quality from psychotic and
neurotic symptoms. The book reviews recent progress and
current controversies in this area, providing a guide to clinicians
and a contribution to the ongoing revision of the two main
diagnostic systems, the DSM-IV and ICD-10.
Written by Mario Maj, an internationally renowned psychiatrist
and secretary for publications of the World Psychiatric
Association, this work includes coverage of neuroscientific and
psychiatric aspects and is an unbiased and reliable reference
point.
