A revolutionary, personalized psychotherapy approach for the treatment of Axis II personality disorders, by renowned expert Dr. Theodore Millon
Acknowledging the primacy of the whole person, Moderating Severe Personality Disorders: A Personalized Psychotherapy Approach takes into account all of the complexities of human nature - family influences, culture, neurobiological processes, unconscious memories, and so on--illustrating that no part of human nature should lie outside the scope of a clinician's regard.
Part of a three book series, this book provides you with a unique combination of conceptual background and step-by-step practical advice to guide your treatment of Axis II personality disorders.
Detailed case studies are provided throughout the text to illustrate the strategies of personalized psychotherapy for:
- Retiring/Schizoid Personality Patterns
- Shy/Avoidant Personality Patterns
- Pessimistic/Depressive Personality Patterns
- Aggrieved/Masochistic Personality Patterns
- Eccentric/Schizotypal Personality Patterns
- Capricious/Borderline Personality Patterns
"…deals with the more severely impaired patients such as those with borderline personality disorder….excellent examples of the Millonian writing style that will be familiar to his many readers…highly structured, well organized, yet quite readable, offering well-reasoned logic as well as wonderful case examples. The descriptions of the various personality disorders and their subtypes must compete for the absolute best characterizations of those disorders available in the clinical literature. Those descriptions alone are worth the price of these paperback books." (PsycCRITIQUES, 7/30/08)
