Handbook of Diagnosis and Treatment of DSM-5-TR Personality Disorders: Assessment, Case Conceptualization, and Treatment

The Handbook of Diagnosis and Treatment of DSM-5-TR Personality Disorders is a handson manual of the most current and effective, evidence-based assessment and treatment interventions for challenging disorders.

The beginning chapters describe several cutting-edge trends in the diagnosis, case conceptualization, and treatments. This is followed by specific chapters focusing on evidence-based diagnosis and treatment interventions for each of the ten DSM-5-TR personality disorders. Emphasized are the most recent developments from Cognitive Behavior Therapies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Schema Therapy, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy, Mentalization-Based Treatment, and more. This fourth edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and includes new research for each chapter on DSM disorders. As in previous editions, extensive case material is used to illustrate key points of diagnosis and treatment.

This book provides essential knowledge and skills to health and mental health practitioners working with personality disordered clients, as well as to students in psychology, counseling, psychiatry, nursing, and social work programs.
