Book, Personality Disorders Toward DSM-V 1/10[LS]

When we consider the growth observed in the volume of publications on personality disorders, we can see that many professionals in the field have sought to review classifications, treatment conditions and innovations, therapeutic indications and even civil liability to pay more attention to the clinical needs of patients, family members and professionals in the field. The organizers of Personality Disorders Toward DSM-V have brought together proven authorities in the field to offer different perspectives so that the reader can obtain the best assessment of each disorder. The book is a clear exposition of the controversies that exist in the current fragile classification of disorders, which are often created without scientific basis, or without research validation. An innovative, bold, critical but prudent, accessible, mature text. A valuable tool to help build the foundations of a new Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), in order to remedy the gaps and update the DSM-IV, considered insufficient and, at times, even obsolete by the American Psychiatric Association itself (APA).
