Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorders Summary

Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorders by Aaron T. Beck, M.D.

This landmark work was the first to present a cognitive framework for understanding and treating personality disorders. Part I lays out the conceptual, empirical, and clinical foundations of effective work with this highly challenging population, reviews cognitive aspects of Axis II disorders, and delineates general treatment principles. In Part II, chapters detail the process of cognitive-behavioral therapy for each of the specific disorders, review the clinical literature, guide the therapist through diagnosis and case conceptualization, and demonstrate the nuts and bolts of cognitive intervention.

Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorders Reviews

'Books from Dr. Beck and his associates have invariably displayed originality, scholarship, and depth, as well as profound sensitivity to the problems of patients with all forms of psychological difficulty. In this singular new edition of a classic treatment guide, the authors once again demonstrate their groundbreaking cognitive model of the personality disorders. Presented is an expanded, even more powerful set of extraordinary conceptual and clinical tools. This volume can be recommended enthusiastically to all who work with this difficult patient population, including experienced clinicians as well as novice practitioners and graduate students. Clinically rich, insightful, and humane.' -Theodore Millon, PhD, DSc, Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology
