The Handbook of Personality Disorders: Theory, Research, and Treatment, 2nd Edition, provides a comprehensive overview of conceptual frameworks, etiology, and clinical management. It reviews diagnostic issues, psychopathology, assessment methods, and evidence-based interventions across the lifespan.
Edited by W. John Livesley and Roseann Larstone, the text brings together contributions on diagnostic systems, developmental influences, and clinical strategies. It addresses factors such as attachment patterns and childhood adversity while comparing official diagnostic frameworks with dimensional models of personality pathology.
For the 2018 edition, the handbook adds 21 chapters on new topics and includes integrative section introductions written by the editors. Consistently structured treatment chapters review theoretical foundations, empirical evidence, and clinical strategies to facilitate comparison across therapeutic modalities.
