Psychological Disorders

This serves as the first in a series of books examining a variety of psychological issues and treatments. This looks at the neurological aspects of mood disorders, motor disorders, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and cognitive disorders. Several therapies are examined in the later parts of the audiobook to include psychoanalysis, psychodynamic, existential, behavioral, cognitive, and more.

The concept of personality disorders rose to prominence in the early twentieth century and has consistently caused controversy among psychiatrists, psychologists, and social scientists. In Personality Disorders, Allan V. Horwitz traces the evolution of defining these disorders and the historical dilemmas of attempting to mold them into traditional medical conceptions of disorder.
