In this book, Salman Akhtar integrates psychiatry and psychoanalysis to present deeper and sounder clinical profiles of the personality disorders than have been hitherto available. He presents a comprehensive review of narcissistic, borderline, schizoid, paranoid, hypermanic, antisocial, histrionic, and schizotypal personality disorders. Then he synthesises the treatment approaches of both the descriptive and dynamic viewpoints. This book should be a valuable resource for every clinician dealing with these problems.

Industry Reviews

This outstanding book by Dr. Akhtar offers a fresh and novel classification of severe personality disorders. He meticulously outlines the characteristics of each of the severe personality disorders and desribes in encyclopedic fashion the technical issues pertaining to their treatment, making this book a valuable desk reference for students as well as for seasoned clinicians.--Vamık D. Volkan, University of Virginia, author of "Enemies on the Couch: A Psychopolitical Journey Through War and Peace"
