From the authoritative expert in personality disorders, Search for
the Real Self is a thorough dissection of how one's real self is
developed, how it relates to the outer world, and how personality
disorders are understood and treated in our modern society.

helps the reader understand them. After describing how the healthy

Drawing on case histories, he shows how the false self behaves in
relationships and on the job, and then delineates appropriate
treatments, offering real hope for cure.
