This is the first book that demonstrates how personality disorders can be diagnosed and treated in children and adolescents. While the prevailing textbook opinion has been that a diagnosis of personality disorder can only be made in young adulthood, a shift in thinking will be necessary in the future. The authors provide detailed, structured descriptions of the various disorder types within the realms of neurotic, psychotic personality organization, and borderline disorders, and subsequently outline the entire diagnostic spectrum as well as the therapeutic options available. Case vignettes illustrate the approach taken.
