Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how the DSM-5 Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) integrates multiple approaches of personality assessment towards a holistic description of patient personality. Following a discussion of theoretical constructs, the first section reviews the empirical literature and available instrumentation for measuring the AMPD. The focus of the second section is on case studies demonstrating the clinical utility of the AMPD from a diverse array of individuals. The conclusion reveals how the cases show the value in integrative models of personality diagnosis, as provided by the AMPD. This is a go-to reference for professionals who work with patients with personality disorders.
