About this title

Synopsis

The 1994 edition of this book has been a definitive resource for both researchers and clinicians interested in the applications of the five-factor model to personality disorders. Since the publication of the first edition, a steady flow of new empirical research has been conducted, and key theoretical developments have occurred. This revised edition updates the book and offers nine important new chapters. A new chapter by the editors presents a comprehensive summary of 55 empirical studies published since 1994 on the relationship of the five factor model to personality disorder symptoms.

Additional new chapters cover
ˇThe history and conceptual background of the FFM
ˇFive-factor translations of DSM-III-R and DSM-IV personality disorders
ˇEmpirical findings on the structure and symptomatology of personality disorders from the five-factor perspective
ˇApplication of the FFM to a variety of patient populations, including patients with borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and bulimia nervosa as well as substance abusers, psychopaths, and sex offenders
ˇThe use of standardized instruments to assess personality
ˇThe FFM's usefulness in tailoring treatment to the personality dimensions of particular patients
