摘要:Rosowsky, Abrams, and Zweig have brought together a distinguished group of behavioral scientists and clinicians dedicated to understanding the interaction of personality and aging to synthesize what is now known about the diagnosis and treatment of the personality disorders in later life. Offering a rich array of theoretical perspectives (intrapsychic, interpersonal, neuropsychological, and systems), they summarize the empirical literature, present phenomenological case reports, and review psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and pharmacological treatment approaches. This comprehensive state-of-the-art guide will be welcomed by all those who must confront the complexity and the challenge of working with this population.
