Therapy. Internationally recognized as the founder of cognitive
therapy, Dr. Beck has been credited with shaping the face of
American psychiatry, and was cited byAmerican Psychologistas “one
of the five most influential psychotherapists of all time.” Dr.
Beck was the recipient of awards including the Albert Lasker
Clinical Medical Research Award, the Lifetime Achievement Award
from the American Psychological Association, the Distinguished
Service Award from the American Psychiatric Association, the James
McKeen Cattell Fellow Award in Applied Psychology from the

Institute of Medicine. He authored or edited numerous books for
professionals and the general public.
Denise D. Davis, PhD, is Associate Professor of the Practice of

Founding Fellow, Diplomate, and certified Trainer and Consultant of
the Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies. Dr. Davis was
the founding Associate Editor of the journal Cognitive and
Behavioral Practice prior to serving the first full term as that
journal’s Editor. Her research and clinical interests include
ethics, psychotherapy termination, and cognitive therapy of
personality disorders.
Arthur Freeman, EdD, LLD (h.c.), ABPP, until his death in 2020, was
Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the Philadelphia College of
Osteopathic Medicine. A leading expert on cognitive-behavioral
therapy, he was a past president of the Association for Behavioral

articles, he lectured in 45 countries and his work has been
translated into 20 languages.
"Personality disorders are debilitating conditions that,
unfortunately, are far too commonly encountered in modern society.
Fortunately, this remarkable volume shows just how far we have come
in having the tools needed to successfully intervene when we
encounter these conditions in the clinic. Particularly welcome in
this third edition is the increased emphasis on connecting
cognitive interventions with empirically based, dimensional models
of personality disorder, such as the Alternative DSM-5 Model. An
indispensable resource for students, practitioners, and researchers
alike."--Robert F. Krueger, PhD, Distinguished McKnight University
Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota
“The editors have assembled an international group of experts who
provide practical, evidence-informed guidance on effectively
managing difficult clinical situations. Using rich clinical
examples and offering useful strategies, contributors illustrate
how to manage the challenges and comorbidity so common in patients
with personality disorders. Synthesizing a theoretical framework
for understanding the organization of personality from a cognitive
therapy perspective, strategies are grounded in neurobiology and
incorporate sensitivity to cultural norms. Sections on treatment
planning and progress monitoring address the patient’s well-being,
while sections on therapist self-care acknowledge the demands of
this kind of work. This volume belongs on the bookshelf of
clinicians and educators--even if you have the prior
edition."--Donna M. Sudak, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Senior
Associate Training Director, and Director of Psychotherapy
Training, Drexel University College of Medicine
"I often say when lecturing to students that the most successful
treatment for people with personality disorders is to send them
(individually) to uninhabited desert islands. Without interaction
with others personality disorder does not exist. So in treating
personality disorders we are faced with a problem; how do we make
the therapeutic relationship different from the client's previous
relationships? This updated edition of a well-established book
explains how--comprehensively and well. At the heart of cognitive
behavior therapy is the building of collaboration and trust, a
genuinely informed combination which the editors and authors of
this volume show us ‘is probably more important when addressing
personality disorders than in treating symptomatic
problems.'"--Peter Tyrer, MD, Centre for Mental Health, Division of
Brain Sciences, Imperial College, London, United Kingdom
"Cognitive Therapy of Personality Disorders, Third Edition is a
'new classic.' This outstanding volume is completely updated, with
extensive reviews of research as well as new conceptualizations and
techniques, and it is filled with wisdom about the therapeutic
relationship and other roadblocks to change. Every therapist
interested in working with personality disorders--which should be
every therapist--will want to read this volume and benefit from the
clinical insights provided. I highly recommend this excellent
resource."--Robert L. Leahy, PhD, Director, American Institute for
Cognitive Therapy; Department of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical
College
"This seminal work updates and elaborates on one of the most
important applications of cognitive therapy. Describing how to
understand and change individuals' self-defeating behaviors that
annoy or harm those around them, the third edition is further
enhanced by chapters on assessment and the neural underpinnings of
such beliefs and behaviors.”--Steven D. Hollon, PhD, Department of
Psychology, Vanderbilt University -The diversity of the authors
leads to a richness that is sometimes lacking when a single
narrative perspective is applied to so broad a range of clinical
presentations....An integrative, pragmatic text, that draws upon
cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and even psychodynamic
traditions. It is bold and ambitious, and it is necessary reading
for those interested in the development of personality disorders,
and in the development of personality itself. (on the second
edition)--Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews, 1/1/2005ƒƒThe
treatment approach is clearly stated....If you want to know about
cognitive therapy as applied to personality disorders, this is the
book to read....I really enjoyed this book because it contains the
ABC's of cognitive therapy. The case examples are poignant and you
can see how cognitive therapy principles are applied with each
patient. Many of the authors are household names in the field,
prominent experts who know what they are talking about. **** (on
the second edition)--Doody's Review Service, 4/21/2014
