New to this edition, the book incorporates over 15 years of significant research advances, featuring 21 chapters on new and emerging topics. It critically examines the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, providing valuable insights. Chapters on additional treatments, such as mentalization-based treatment, schema-focused therapy, transference-based psychotherapy, and systems training for emotional predictability and problem solving, offer valuable perspectives. Furthermore, chapters on dimensional models, longitudinal studies, and personality pathology in children and adolescents contribute to the understanding of these complex disorders. Additionally, chapters on specific diagnoses, including antisocial/psychopathic, borderline, and obsessive–compulsive personality disorder, provide comprehensive coverage of these personality disorders.

To enhance the reader's experience, the editors have included integrative section introductions that provide a cohesive framework for understanding personality disorders and their treatment.
