Autonomy and Rigid Character

Rating:
Summary: An excellent book on character and character disorder
Review: I actually read this book about 7 years ago in graduate school in clinical psychology. It is an excellent discussion of how character can develop pathologically. This provides insight for understanding and intervention. The book is very easily read. I have also read Shapiro's "Neurotic Styles." The two overlap somewhat, but "Neurotic Styles" is also a very readable and informative book on character development and disorder
