Description
Book SynopsisThis book summarizes the conceptual and empirical support for the Five-Factor Model (FFM), the most heavily researched and empirically supported dimensional model of general personality structure. Since the second edition of this authoritative text was published in 2002, the research base supporting the FFM has more than quadrupled. Case studies are also provided.
Trade Review"For clinicians and personality researchers, this book provides great insight into cutting-edge models of personality and helps to effect a paradigm shift in our understanding of both normal personality and personality disorders." -
