Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorders
Editorial Reviews
Review
``This is another classic book in the `Beckian' style--scholarly and eminently readable, a superb and much needed treatment guide. Breaking new ground again in this unusually challenging work, Beck, Freeman and their associates have produced an exceptionally useful handbook, not only for those who follow in the cognitive-behavioral tradition, but for all therapists who seek to enrich their insights and methodologies for working with the personality disorders.
It is of no small import that the text is a pleasure to read. Clear both in thought and language, it is entirely free of the jargon and obscurities that litter this field. In a matter of particular relevance to my own work, I was especially pleased with the chapter on the avoidant personality; it is the first detailed and sensitively drawn examination of therapeutic issues with this highly troubled group of patients. All in all, the Beck-Freeman volume is a major milestone in the progress of therapy for this large class of difficult-to-treat disorders.''--Theodore Millon, Ph.D.,
