aEURoeFew topics are as clinically important but conceptually challenging as PF. One could argue that the field has offered little more useful than 'you know it when you see it.' This volume valiantly and successfully takes up the challenge of mapping a pluralistic and contemporary scholarly view on PF. Chapters span basic science to applied treatment, psychometrics to neuroscience. Scientists and practitioners of all stripes will find this book useful for clarifying and furthering their understanding of one of psychopathologyaEUR (TM)s most central and perplexing phenomena.aEUR--Aidan G.C. Wright, PhD, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, University of Michigan aEURoeBringing together accessible theoretical overviews, empirical perspectives, and clinical applications, this book makes a significant contribution to the field. Especially compelling is its relevance for clinicians of all orientations--by presenting multiple approaches, it shows how personality functioning (PF) can serve as a common language across models. This volume is essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners seeking an up-to-date, clinically meaningful account of how dimensional approaches to personality can be translated into clinical practice through the lens of PF.aEUR--Susanne HA?rz-Sagstetter, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Psychologische Hochschule Berlin, Germany -
