Personality and Psychological Disorders

Personality and Psychological Disorders aims to integrate evidence and idea from healthy personality and temperament on the one hand and psychological disorders on the other. This is achieved by viewing personality traits as predispositions to disorder, and by questioning how far the causes of various disorders can be seen as an extension or exaggeration of processes underlying normal personality or temperament. This is a second level textbook for undergraduate students of psychology, but is also recommended for health professionals and their trainees, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and nurses.
