"This book will be read with interest by clinical and personality psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and other practitioners, as well as researchers working in the areas of psychotherapy, personality and personality assessment, and psychopathology. It will serve as a highly informative supplemental text in advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses."--Jacket.
