The revised edition, like the original, is organized into two parts. Part I will offer an overview of the field, and has been significantly updated to reflect the most recent advances in CBT and the treatment of personality disorders, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Coping Therapy, Structured Intervention Strategies, and Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy. A new section on developmental psychopathology has also been added. Part II, Specific Treatment Strategies is composed of five chapters that each focus on a specific personality disorder. These chapters address Avoidant, Borderline, Dependent, Narcissistic, Histrionic and Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorders, and follow a consistent structure that follows the treatment process in its various stages: engagement, pattern analysis, pattern change and termination and pattern maintenance, including follow-up and relapse prevention.

Industry Reviews

"...some of the best descriptions and clearest CBT treatment conceptualizations available anywhere." - from the foreword by Arthur Freeman

"Len Sperry is clearly a master of personality assessment and the third-generation of cognitive behavior therapy. With clarity and insight, he describes effective ways to treat both the temperament and the character of people. Sperry is really the first to synthesize such a range of techniques in a balanced way, rather than as an advocate of a particular method. His flexible and integrative approach will be of great value to everyone who treats people with personality disorders." - C. Robert Cloninger, M.D., author of Feeling Good: The Science of Well-Being
