Reviews

'The revised edition of this book is bang up to date and is an excellent primer to the subject. Emmelkamp and Meyerbroeker have comprehensively described the jigsaw of personality disorder, in which the major pieces are well demarcated but their place in the overall pattern still remains a puzzle. What they also make clear is that personality disorder cannot be ignored or dismissed as a useless label. It is fundamental to the proper understanding of the psyche."

- Peter Tyrer, Emeritus Professor of Community Psychiatry, Imperial College, London
