Defined by stable, long-term, subjective distress and/or social
impairment, personality disorders affect up to 18% of the
population. Social impairment and health care usage are far more
prevalent among people with personality disorders than among people
with major depressive disorders. Personality disorders are highly
prevalent, variable, and notoriously difficult to treat, and they
continue to challenge the therapeutic community and represent a
formidable public health concern. This volume ably addresses
personality disorders as one of the top priorities of psychiatry
for the new millennium, offering a thorough and updated review and
analysis of empirical work to point up the issues central to
developing a therapeutic model for treatment as well as current
research challenges. A review of extant research yields the
heartening conclusion that psychotherapy remains an effective
treatment for people with personality disorders. An examination of
psychodynamic treatment for borderline personality disorder speaks
to its efficacy. An analysis of the rationale for combining
psychotherapy and psychopharmacology emphasizes the importance of
identifying temperament and target conditions. A well-documented
and reasoned treatise on antisocial personality disorder makes the
crucial point that clinicians must acquire a depth of understanding
and skill sufficient to determine what the cut-off point is for
treatable versus nontreatable gradations. With the caveat that
evidence supporting the efficacy of cognitive treatments for
personality disorders is slight and that such approaches require
tailoring, a strong case is made for their validity. This timely
volume both answers and reframes many stubborn questions about the
efficacy of psychotherapy for treating personality disorders.
