Reviews

?[K]antor's book creditably reconstructs DSM-IV descriptions and criteria to work-related symptomatology. And this in itself is no small feat....I was particularly impressed with Kantor's brilliant articulation of the dynamics of the "hysterical personality disorder"--not to be confused with DSM's Histrionic Personality Disorder--in occupational settings. These articulations reflect the author's highly developed powers of clinical observation skills and formulation prowess.?-Organizational & Occupational Psychiatry
