Full Description
Transforming understanding and treatment of personality disorders with cutting-edge, evidence-based insights
Clinical Applications of the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders is an important reference for clinicians and researchers using the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD)—a dimensional diagnostic system for understanding personality pathology. The book covers the history, theoretical background, research evidence, and clinical application of the AMPD. With contributions from prominent clinician-researchers, this resource integrates emerging research findings with practical guidance on using the AMPD in various contexts.
This book is divided into three sections. The first section offers an introduction to the AMPD that is useful for both newcomers to the model and researchers well versed in it. The second section reviews recent literature and offers case studies highlighting how the AMPD is applied in assessment and intervention. The third section covers cultural diversity, social justice, and the future of personality assessment. Together, this book's chapters offer a valuable outline of how the AMPD might be used in assessment and treatment planning.
