Search For The Real Self : Unmasking The Personality Disorders

Search For The Real Self : Unmasking The Personality Disorders Of Our Age

From the authoritative expert in personality disorders, Search for the Real Self is a thorough dissection of how oneâ€™s real self is developed, how it relates to the outer world, and how personality disorders are understood and treated in our modern society.

Personality disordersâ€”borderline, narcissistic, and schizoidâ€”have become the classic psychological disorders of our age. Outwardly successful, charming and powerful, personality-disordered individuals have long confounded their colleagues, family, lovers and employeesâ€”as well as mental health professionals. The author helps the reader understand them. After describing how the healthy real self develops and functions, he explains what can go wrong. Drawing on case histories, he shows how the false self behaves in relationships and on the job, and then delineates appropriate treatments, offering real hope for cure.
