Description for Character Styles
Hardback. How basic existential and developmental issues underlie the severe pathology of personality disorders and symptoms of neurosis in character styles. Num Pages: 336 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: JMS; MMJ. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 246 x 166 x 31. Weight in Grams: 694.
Johnson shows how basic life issues underlie the severe pathology of personality disorder, the nagging symptoms of neurosis, and the more functional coping and adaptation of the character styles. Johnson’s dimensional model captures the complexity of the human personality, while allowing for variability not seen in categorical systems such as DSM-IV. His descriptive names of the character styles not only link childhood experiences to later personality and psychopathology but also put flesh and bones on psychiatric diagnosis.
