A generally sound guide to how individual personality styles affect our lives, and how understanding those styles can enhance our careers and relationships with others. Oldham (Clinical Psychiatry/Columbia Univ. College of Physicians and Surgeons) begins with 104 searching, sometimes confusing, statements. By responding ""yes,"" ""no,"" or ""maybe"" to them, readers can chart their own personality profiles, usually comprised of several of 13 personality types. Succeeding chapters deal succinctly and systematically with the characteristics of each type and how best to harmonize life style and personality style. We learn, for instance, that those with a ""Devoted"" personality style work best with bosses whose style is heavily weighted with the ""Conscientious"" personality trait, and that the devoted personality functions well in service careers such as nursing or social work; we also learn that ""Vigilant"" personality types thrive in close relationships with those whose styles fall in the ""Self-Sacrificing"" or ""Sensitive"" categories, etc. Each chapter includes exercises designed to smooth the rough edges of each personality style, as well as a discussion of the mental dysfunction that surfaces when a personality style is carried to extremes: the ""Idiosyncratic"" personality is associated with the schizotypal personality disorder; the ""Sensitive"" type with the avoidance personality disorder, etc. Morris, mental health columnist for Health magazine, expertly sets Oldham's astute and well-documented observations into polished prose. The result is an unusually sensible entry into the frequently glib self-discovery field. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Another twist on the classic self-help theme. Working backwards from the 1987 classification system of personality disorders published by the American Psychiatric Society, the authors derive 13 personality categories that, to a great extent, predetermine people's love lives, occupations, self-images, and emotional and spiritual lives. The 13 styles, along with their related disorders, include conscientious/obsessive-compulsive, self-confident/narcissistic, dramatic/histrionic, leisurely/passive-aggressive, and self-sacrificing/self-defeating. The authors include a 104-question self-test to determine the reader's predilections, as well as exercises to assist people in turning liabilities into assets. To be indexed. --Allen Weakland

Beginning with a questionnaire based on the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-IIIR, published in 1987, the authors have the reader chart his or her profile according to 13 individual personality styles. Each following chapter describes a dominant character pattern, what jobs that person may be most suited for, appropriate personality-type mates, parenting styles, and ways of capitalizing on strengths and minimizing weaknesses. Advice is given the reader on how to deal with different styles, and a page or two describes the mental illness associated with the extremes of each dominant trait. Case histories and anecdotes make the personalities come alive to create an enjoyable and informative analysis of personality types.-- Marguerite Mroz, Baltimore Cty . P.L. (c) Copyright 2010.
