Review
'The editors have brought together prominent theorists and researchers who contend that personality is the foundation for a better understanding of the nature and treatment of psychopathology. As they explore the intersection of traditional psychological science and clinical practice, the contributors illuminate promising links and directions that will inspire further integration. A stimulating text not only for graduate psychology courses, but for psychiatric residency programs as well.' - Theodore Millon, PhD, DSc, Institute for Advanced Studies in Personology and Psychopathology, USA

From the Back Cover

Traditionally, personality and psychopathology have been distinct areas of inquiry. This important volume reviews influential research programs that increasingly bridge the gap between the two areas. Presented are compelling perspectives on whether certain personality traits or structures confer risks for mental illness, how temperament interacts with other influences on psychological adaptation, links between personality disorders and mood and anxiety disorders, implications for effective intervention, and more.
