Reviews
The Dutch nation has influenced a large part of the earth's surface through their ingenuity and industry. Emmelkamp and Kamphuis join these worthy pioneers by this magisterial exposition of developments in personality disorders. Their coverage is comprehensive, their interpretations insightful and their analysis profound. They convey all the excitement and novelty of a young subject that is bursting with energy and demonstrating a tremendous impact in mental health that no-one can sensibly ignore.
