Book Synopsis

Harper (psychiatry, Baylor College of Medicine) provides a systematic consideration of the implications of personality disorder in disease states and health care. Following an introductory chapter on behavioral medicine theory and medical disease, individual chapters reference the DSM- IV criteria and then proceed with an elaboration of the theorized polarity imbalances as they apply to each condition and the implications for treatment and their expression in behavioral medicine clinical situations. For clinicians and researchers. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
