From the jacket flap
Encompassing case vignettes based on composites of numerous patients from Dr. Yudofsky's 30 years of clinical practice and his collaborations with gifted clinicians, educators, and research scientists, Fatal Flaws: Navigating Destructive Relationships With People With Disorders of Personality and Character uniquely and vividly captures essential clinical and research information that brings to life the psychopathologies of people with the "fatal flaws" of personality and character.
Part psychiatric textbook and part self-help manual for patients and clients, Fatal Flaws reviews comprehensively the course, treatment, genetics, biology, psychology, and destructive consequences of hysterical (histrionic), narcissistic, antisocial, paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, addictive, borderline, and schizotypal personality disorders. This book is written in the first person; the author communicates directly with a patient who either has a personality or character disorder or is in an important relationship with a person with this condition.
With meticulously protected confidentiality, Fatal Flaws offers a true sense of the clinical experience by informing, orienting, and supporting both novice and seasoned mental health professionals as they face the ongoing challenges of treating patients with personality or character disorders. It is also particularly valuable for patients in psychotherapeutic treatment who are in destructive relationships with people with untreated personality disorders.
