Product Description
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. Beginning with a classification of the spectrum of personality patterns and disorders found in individuals and then describing a profile of mental functioning that permits a clinician to look in detail at each of the patient's capacities, the entries include a description of the patient's symptoms with a focus on the patient's internal experiences as well as surface behaviors. Intended to expand on the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)and ICD (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) efforts in cataloging the symptoms and behaviors of mental health patients, this manual opens the door to a fuller understanding of the functioning of the mind, brain, and their development.

Not just for professionals who diagnose- The PDM will help you UNDERSTAND September 1, 2008
An Expert Look at Love, Intimacy and Personal Growth
I Love You Madly! On Passion, Personality and Personal Growth, second edition
Yes it is a masterpiece in nosology, but it is not just for professionals who need to diagnose for a living. ANYONE who wants to understand personality- I mean the FULL range of personality should read as least pages 1 to 31! You will read the non-dogmatic culmination of over 100 years of research, case study and wisdom that is applicable to all theoretic orienations. I have taught the PDM to non and even anti-psychodynamic psychologists. What happens? Except for very few defensive types, the all loved it. [...]
good July 31, 2008
The PDM is very helpful and a good complement to the DSM-IV. Every good clinician should consult it...
A magnificent compendium March 27, 2008

I found this manual a useful resource for the evaluation and treatment of our consultants.
It's also an invaluable aid for teaching psychotherapy.
As it presents personality traits as a continuum, with emphasis in healthy functional patterns and healthy personality, the comprehension of psychopatology results a dynamic process, not a cold list of symtoms.
Extremely informative November 7, 2007

 Very good complement for DSM June 1, 2007

If you're anything like me (by like "me" I mean you're not necessarily fond of the DSMs) chances are you'd like this alternate classification. All of the heavyweight psychoanalysis organizations joined together to produce a diagnostic manual that takes into account the subjective experience of the patient, beyond the description of a general diagnosis. The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I'd like it to have important information on transference and countertransference. Being created by the psychoanalytic organizations you'd expect it to include some notes on the Transference/Countertransferece experience in general for each pathology. But the truth is that this manual is actually useful even for therapists outside the psychoanalytic field, so the transferences/countertransference would have probably narrowed the group of psychotherapists it can reach being written the way it is.
