{"product_id":"using-basic-personality-research-to-inform-personality-pathology-9780190227074","title":"Using Basic Personality Research to Inform Personality Pathology","description":"Personality pathology, which is characterized by a pervasive, maladaptive, and inflexible pattern of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, has long been considered a set of categories that are distinct from each other and from normal personality. Research over the past three decades, however, \u003cbr\u003ehas challenged that assumed separation, and instead suggests that abnormal personality is merely a maladaptive extension of the same features that describe the personalities of all humans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eUsing Basic Personality Research to Inform the Personality Disorders\u003c\/em\u003e will present the work of prominent thinkers at the intersections of social, personality, developmental, and clinical psychology to consider theoretical and empirical issues relevant to how basic personality research can inform the\u003cbr\u003escientific understanding of personality pathology. Surveying cutting-edge research on the science of basic personality and demonstrating how these ideas and methods can be applied to the conceptualization of pathology, the book first provides a historical overview, followed by an account of the\u003cbr\u003ecurrent state of the personality disorder literature. Ensuing chapters highlight critical issues in the assessment and conceptualization of personality, its development across the life course, and biological underpinnings. These chapters are valuable primers on the basic science of personality, from\u003cbr\u003especific genes to complex social interactions. Furthermore, each chapter aims not only to elucidate current understandings of personality, but to demonstrate its direct application to clinical diagnosis and conceptualization. \u003cem\u003eUsing Basic Personality Research to Inform the Personality Disorders\u003c\/em\u003e is\u003cbr\u003ethe first edited volume to present such diverse perspectives across biological, developmental, clinical, and social psychology from leading researchers in basic and disordered personality, and will be of interest to a broad range of students, scientists, and practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas B.

Samuel, Ph.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University. His research focuses on investigating dimensional models, particularly the Five Factor Model of personality, with the aim of improving the conceptualization of psychopathology. He is particularly interested in investigating how multiple sources (clients, therapists, informants) and methods (EEG, ecological momentary assessment) can be integrated to better assess and diagnosis mental illness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDonald R.

His research examines the contribution of individual differences to psychopathology and deviance across the lifecourse. Much of his work uses general models of personality to re-conceptualize more complex constructs (psychopathy, narcissism, impulsivity, et cetera).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39927189995635,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":63.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_52d3882e-088e-4d16-9bcd-c619cfa313e1.jpg?v=1647523837","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/using-basic-personality-research-to-inform-personality-pathology-9780190227074","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
