The Handbook of Diagnosis and Treatment of DSM-5-TR Personality Disorders is a hands-on manual of the most current and effective, evidence-based assessment and treatment interventions for challenging disorders.
The beginning chapters describe several cutting-edge trends in the diagnosis, case conceptualization, and treatments. This is followed by specific chapters focusing on evidence-based diagnosis and treatment interventions for each of the 10 DSM-5-TR personality disorders. Emphasized are the most recent developments from Cognitive Behavior Therapies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Schema Therapy, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy, Mentalization-Based Treatment, and more. This fourth edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and includes new research for each chapter on DSM disorders. As in previous editions, extensive case material is used to illustrate key points of diagnosis and treatment.
This book provides essential knowledge and skills to health and mental health practitioners working with personality disordered clients, as well as to students in psychology, counseling, psychiatry, nursing, and social work programs.
Reviews and Endorsements
The much-anticipated new edition of Dr. Sperry’s Handbook of the Diagnosis and Treatment of DSM-5-TR Personality Disorders is a critically needed volume for any mental health clinician working with personality disordered clients. It is evidence based, completely updated, and remarkably practical. This is one of those rare books that should be on the shelf of all mental health professionals and trainees. Dr. Sperry has offered the profession an important and much needed update to a now classic text.

Sperry’s 4th edition of the Handbook of the Diagnosis and Treatment of DSM-5-TR Personality Disorders effectively engages the latest theory and research in this vital and complex area of clinical practice. I consider this the essential volume on the topic because of Sperry’s evidence-based insights about the full set of personality disorders integrated with a diverse range of practical treatment strategies. His case conceptualizations weave together the multi-faceted strengths of this approach and offer an excellent set of training tools. This is the key book on personality disorders to own.
