Much needed information when working with people daily

Very informative and helpful. The more I know about people, the better I can do with my job.

A good read for the client who desires a better understaning as well

As a lay person who suffers from an avoidant personality, along with some overlapt into areas like OCD I find this book a good read as I struggle to better understand and work aloside my therapist to continue to make progress in my batter to overcome long term self imposed walls. My therapist knows I read such refernces she had kidded me about my having enough knowledge to teach a graduate level class on personality disorders. She was the one who first got me connected with the writings of Millon. I must say of all of Millon's works I have read so far this one seems to be written at a level that is easier for the lay person or perhaps for therapist that come from outside the clinical psychology background to get a good feel for many of the find points of the disorders that can sometimes get lost in his other works if you don't have a good strong background going in. The individual cases are intereesting. While none of the sample avoidant cases really hit home with me as somone who sufferns from an avoidant personality I could still see where the approach being used was coming from and might work well for some others. Over the years prior to treatment I managed to make a lot of progress in numerous areas but still am working nove for about 18 months with my therpist to continue to grow and experience things that at 54 I though I would most likley never experience.

Great reading

Finally a book that talks about treatment of the individual within the context of a diagnosis. This is a worthwhile book for both the seasoned clinician and the student craving more knowledge and understanding.
