On the cusp of newest edition of the DSM, the field of personality
disorders is thriving and productive. This is certainly a time of
major transition for the classification, study, and treatment of
personality disorders, as the personality disorders section of the
DSM is undergoing major revision, leaving researchers and
clinicians to wonder whether their area of specialty in the field
of personality disorders will be retained, deleted, or revised in
DSM-5. In advance of DSM-5, The Oxford Handbook of Personality
Disorders provides a summary of the latest information concerning
the diagnosis, assessment, construct validity, etiology, pathology,
and treatment of personality disorders. Bringing together
contributions from leading scholars, researchers, and clinicians
from a wide variety of theoretical perspectives, this volume
includes: - Chapters devoted to personality disorders proposed for
retention in DSM-5 - Chapters concerning personality disorders that
are slated for deletion - Chapters concerning three that have never
obtained or had previously lost official recognition (i.e.
passive-aggressive, depressive, and racist) - Chapters authored by
members of the DSM-5 Personality Disorders Work Group, which
succinctly outline and explain the proposals, as well as chapters
by authors who raise significant questions and concerns (often
differing) about these proposals - Special coverage of largely
neglected areas of investigation (i.e. childhood antecedents of
personality disorder, cross-cultural validity) - Controversial
areas for the DSM, such as schizotypal personality disorder,
narcissism, depressive personality disorder, dependent personality
disorder, and dimensional classification In this time of
transition, scholarship on personality disorders is proliferating,
making this comprehensive, timely handbook the perfect resource for
students, researchers, and clinical psychologists.
