This groundbreaking work presents a unifying theory of personality
disorders with vital implications for clinical practice. Lorna
Smith Benjamin presents the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior
(SASB), a dimensional model elucidating the interpersonal and
intrapsychic patterns that give rise to and reinforce symptomatic
behaviors. The interpersonal dimensions of each DSM-IV personality
disorder are discussed in depth and innovative procedures for
assessment and diagnosis described. Benjamin's widely studied
interpersonal approach helps the clinician resolve the problem of
overlap among diagnostic categories, predicts problems that are
likely to occur in the therapeutic relationship, and provides
recommendations for effective treatment. Richly illustrated with
clinical examples, the book is solidly grounded in empirical
research. The paperback edition features a new preface by the
author.
