Summary
Based on neuroscience and treatment outcome studies that demonstrate the importance of focusing on the emotional and social functioning. This manual provides a classification of the personality patterns and disorders found in individuals. It describes a profile of mental functioning that permits a clinician to look at each patient's capacities. This manual is based on current neuroscience and treatment outcome studies that demonstrate the importance of focusing on the full range and depth of emotional and social functioning.
