Personality and Psychological Disorders

by Caroline Davis

This new text, by an international team of noted psychologists, aims to integrate evidence and ideas 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.
