Part I will offer an overview of the field, and has been significantly updated to reflect the most recent advances in CBT and the treatment of personality disorders, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Coping Therapy, Structured Intervention Strategies, and Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy. A new section on developmental psychopathology has also been added. Part II, Specific Treatment Strategies is composed of five chapters that each focus on a specific personality disorder.
