Johnson shows how basic life issues underlie the severe pathology of personality disorder, the nagging symptoms of neurosis, and the more functional coping and adaptation of the character styles. Johnson's dimensional model captures the complexity of the human personality, while allowing for variability not seen in categorical systems such as DSM-IV. His descriptive names of the character styles not only link childhood experiences to later personality and psychopathology but also put flesh and bones on psychiatric diagnosis.

Industry Reviews

"Stephen Johnson's Character Styles is a scholarly exploration of the most profound psychological mysteries: what determines human behavior and what we can do about its destructive manifestations. Dr. Johnson's response to this challenge is distinguished by a vastly informed, deeply felt intelligence. Together with his previous three volumes, Character Styles provides a major contribution to the literature of the healing arts." -- Avodah Offit, MD, author of Virtual Love
"This book will be useful to all psychotherapists. It is an eminently readable review that integrates and extends several literatures. Disturbances of personality, due to maladaptive character development, are examined with theories of causation that are linked to techniques for change. Therapists will find the lucid, conversational style of highest interest." -- Mardi J. Horowitz, MD, professor of psychiatry, director of Center for the Study of Neuroses, UCSF
