Summary:

This book examines the proposition that psychopathology is often related to interpersonal processes. The book is divided into six parts. Part I (chaps. 2-5) delineates the basic principles of an interpersonal approach. In part II (chaps. 6 and 7), we apply the principles of part I to four personality disorders. In the course of the book we examine all 10 personality disorders that are currently recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th edition; DSM-IV-TR; American Psychiatric Association, 2000). In part III (chaps. 8 and 9), we consider the interpersonal foundations of syndromes. In part IV (chaps. 10-12) we consider disorders that involve an identity disturbance with interpersonal consequences. Finally, in part V (chap. 13) we summarize the major themes of the book.
