Customer Reviews

Pleased with the book

This book is like Axis two disorders for dummies. It is great there are a small amount of illustrations. There are references to movies that you could see that would give you a picture of what the diagnosis looks like. This is one of the easiest to read text books that I have ever had.

A very good appetizer for "Personality Disorders" lovers

This book is considered a very good introduction for "personality disorders" from the DSM point of view. It's very readable, illustrated with mnemonics, cartoon examples, media examples, more over it uses humour as an educational tool. It could be considered as an appetizer, rather than a comprehensive reference in this area. I would recommend it for medical students, residents and mental health workers. It can be helpful for non medical people interested to know more than personality disorders.

Practicle. Great book.

The best book I've read to be used with patients in helping them understand a PD diagnosis in a non-threatening way. Wonderful refresher.
