Personality Disorders and Older Adults: Diagnosis, Assessment, and Treatment

"The foreword describes this book as the best of its kind in the field of personality disorders of the elderly. I fully agree and recommend it to practitioners, researchers, and educators. It should be required reading for graduate students in psychology and for those preparing for careers in mental health. It really is an outstanding book!"
—Norman Abeles (PsycCRITIQUES, August 15, 2007)

"The authors have provided a useful guide to understanding and treating older patients." (The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, volume 195, No 8, August 2007)

The chapter on evolutionary theory and the development of personality disorders is especially creative and cutting-edge. "Personality Disorders and Older Adults" should be on the bookshelf of all mental health professionals who work with ‘problem’ clients in geriatric settings, and of all academics who want to understand the latest thinking on personality and dysfunction.--Victor Molinari, University of South Florida
