Recenzje

This dazzling volume brings together the finest scholars in both normal-range and pathological personality. Its scope is extraordinary, with contributions explicating the nature of underlying etiological mechanisms, developmental trajectories across the lifespan, social processes and interpersonal dysfunction, novel approaches to assessment, and the role of basic traits in personality disorder. It is essential reading for those interested in how recent developments in basic personality research have transformed our understanding of personality pathology.

O autorze

Douglas B. Samuel, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University. His research focuses on investigating dimensional models, particularly the Five Factor Model of personality, with the aim of improving the conceptualization of psychopathology. He is particularly interested in investigating how multiple sources (clients, therapists, informants) and methods (EEG, ecological momentary assessment) can be integrated to better assess and diagnosis mental illness. Donald R. Lynam, Ph.D. is Distinguished Professor of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University. His research examines the contribution of individual differences to psychopathology and deviance across the lifecourse. Much of his work uses general models of personality to re-conceptualize more complex constructs (psychopathy, narcissism, impulsivity, et cetera).
