[Dovilė Stonė · Rating 4 out of 5]

Knygoje bandoma susisteminti skirtingų autorių požiūrius į asmenybės sutrikimų formavimąsi ir pasireiškimą. Nors pavadinime referuojama ir į "treatment" - apie jį čia kalbama mažai, knyga didžiąja dalimi teorinė. Verta pagal poreikį vis paskaitinėti atskirus skyrelius.

Minusas - ne visa knyga "gerai paseno". Čia turiu omeny kai kurias vietas, kuriose kalbama apie seksualumą.

This book wasn't written for pop psych readers in mind. It reads like a psych text and includes many cited research studies, which is why it's awesome. I found the information I couldn't find anywhere else about particular cluster B personality disorders.
