Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A highly practical reference work covering all aspects of understanding and treating people with personality disorder.
MoreLong description:
People with personality disorder who offend tend to be neglected by health services in most countries. In the UK, there has been renewed interest in the field since government initiatives in the end of the 1990s. Government proposals themselves are controversial, but there is growing recognition that it is unsafe, both for the general public and for the primary sufferer alike, if the neglect continues.
Years of experience have combined to provide a highly practical reference work covering:
Â?Models of understanding of personality development and disorder
Â?Methods of assessment and treatment and how they can be applied and modified
Â?Special issues - drug misuse, long-stay induced secondary disorders, issues pertinent to women only, 'intractable' patients
Â?A path for care - from initial assessment to the logistics of discharge
Â?Management issues - choosing staff, supervision and support of staff
Evidence-based and entirely comprehensive in its approach, practitioners will find Personality Disorder and Serious Offending both a practical and insightful adjunct that will assist them in their work.
