Extending and magnifying Shapiro's original vision of psychopathology, Dynamics of Character is a resonantly reasoned response to the reduction of complex processes of mind to products of biological defect of psychological trauma. |

| Publisher Description: In his first new book in ten years, David Shapiro extends the stubbornly intuitive clinical vision that informed his phenomenally successful Neurotic Styles to probe the psychopathological. Emphasizing self-regulatory process over biological event, Shapiro's philosophy of mind goes against the current - but with authority . . . not to mention a built-in audience. |
