Critics Review
In this very well-written and clinically rich text, Personality-Disordered Patients: Treatable and Untreatable, Stone approaches the treatability of personality-disordered patients, from most amenable to untreatable, across 11-at times, interrelated-factors or dimensions… . The greatest strength of Personality-Disordered Patients: Treatable and Untreatable lies in its vast clinical richness and the fact that the information contained within will be useful to mental health professionals from all schools of thought. Clinical vignettes constitute probably more than half the text and beautifully and poignantly illustrate the technical points being made during each phase of the book, which is a pleasure to read.
* PsycCRITIQUES *[Personality-Disordered Patients] is enjoyable, readable, and informative. We are invited in for a glimpse of Michael Stone’s many therapeutic encounters and learn from his broad range of experience. His organizing the book along the lines of amenability to treatment is useful, and his tables of traits and characteristics can help clinicians evaluate prognosis and course, and can provide comfort to therapists who are having difficulty understanding what is going on their therapists with personality-disordered- patients.
* The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease *Personality-Disordered Patients is a terrific book for clinicians. It is well written with multiple clinical vignettes. I would highly recommend this book to all clinicians who work with challenging patients.
