Treatment of Severe Personality Disorders: Resolution of Aggression and Recovery of Eroticism presents an overview by the preeminent psychoanalyst of recent developments in his research, clinical studies, and theoretical contributions in the field of personality pathology, psychodynamic technique, and specialized studies of eroticism and narcissism. In rich clinical and theoretical detail, the book explores the concepts of personality in the context of its neurobiological and intrapsychic determinants, proposes a new classification and new methods of psychotherapeutic interventions, expands the analysis of severe narcissistic pathology, and details the many complications in the sexual life of patients with personality disorders. Clinicians working with patients afflicted with severe personality disorders will find the author's laser focus on the nature of narcissistic pathology and its treatment instructive and the clinical examples illuminating. The impoverishment of the love lives of patients with severe personality disorders, particularly those with significant narcissistic pathology, has traditionally been a neglected area of inquiry, though it is of crucial importance to the treatment of these patients and to their quality of life.
Treatment of Severe Personality Disorders: Resolution of Aggression and Recovery of Eroticism is a beautifully written and much-needed report from the field, and will earn its place beside the author's seminal works.
