Product Description:
The 1994 edition of this book has been a definitive resource for both researchers and clinicians interested in the applications of the five-factor model to personality disorders. Since the publication of the first edition, a steady flow of new empirical research has been conducted, and key theoretical developments have occurred. This revised edition updates the book and offers nine important new chapters. A new chapter by the editors presents a comprehensive summary of 55 empirical studies published since 1994 on the relationship of the five factor model to personality disorder symptoms.
Additional new chapters cover
·The history and conceptual background of the FFM
·Five-factor translations of DSM-III-R and DSM-IV personality disorders
·Empirical findings on the structure and symptomatology of personality disorders from the five-factor perspective
·Application of the FFM to a variety of patient populations, including patients with borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and bulimia nervosa as well as substance abusers, psychopaths, and sex offenders
·The use of standardized instruments to assess personality
·The FFM's usefulness in tailoring treatment to the personality dimensions of particular patients
I enjoyed going through this book, and I do believe incorporating measures of normal personality in to the framework of personality pathology is important. We need to be careful to not completely abandon personality disorders, ofcourse, as there may be many different maladaptive expressions of the abstract concepts identified as traits and facets in the FFM, and the facets themselves may possibly be constructed of semi-independent factors. This book will certainly help you understand one potential direction the field may take with DSM-V, though I don't think we can necessarily treat the FFM as containing every "trait" that would be clinically useful in a diagnostic system and individuals with various collections of traits may present differently. It will do what every good book should though, make you think about some of the assumptions that you normally operate under.
