Broken Structures : Severe Personality Disorders and Their Treatment

In this book, Salman Akhtar integrates psychiatry and psychoanalysis to present deeper and sounder clinical profiles of the personality disorders than have been hitherto available. He presents a comprehensive review of narcissistic, borderline, schizoid, paranoid, hypermanic, antisocial, histrionic, and schizotypal personality disorders. Then he synthesises the treatment approaches of both the descriptive and dynamic viewpoints. This book should be a valuable resource for every clinician dealing with these problems.
