Health and Social Relationships
THIRD EDITION
Edited by Thomas A. Widiger and Paul T. Costa Jr.
In the upcoming fifth edition of the American
Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the major
innovation for the personality disorders will likely
be a shift from the classic syndrome-based approach
to a dimensional description approach . This book
explains how personality disorders can be understood from the perspective
of 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 . As
a result, the vast majority of this volume is new . The chapters summarize
the conceptual and empirical support for the FFM, including the dimensional description of specific personality disorders and the application
of the model for assessment and treatment . Case studies are also provided .

The Good, the Bad,
and the Complicated
Edited by Matthew L. Newman
and Nicole A. Roberts
NEW!
We know that good, supportive relationships generally promote good health, and that bad, stressful
relationships take a toll on our health . Yet most of
our relationships—those with relatives, coworkers,
caregivers, and romantic partners among them—are
complicated, providing varying degrees of both support and stress .
The contributors to Health and Social Relationships not only examine
the psychological and physiological linkages between relationships and
health, but also offer clinical implications—such as how to foster good
social relationships in our personal lives and in our communities at large .
Health and Social Relationships is an excellent compendium of research
geared toward scholars and students in health psychology at the advanced
undergraduate and graduate levels .

processes such as displacement of aggression, conformity, obedience, fear, and cognitive dissonance
as tools that aid the development and maintenance of dictatorships, as well
as the crucial role of ideology in cementing the allegiance of elites . Since
even democracies contain an ever-shifting relationship between democratic
and dictatorial tendencies, with elements that can pull democracies back to
dictatorship, this book has important implications for citizens of all nations,
even our own .

Social Categories in Everyday
Experience
Edited by Shaun Wiley, Gina Philogène,
and Tracey A. Revenson
This book explores the social categories of gender and
immigration; how members of marginalized groups
cope with identity and discrimination in everyday
settings like school and the workplace; and how stereotyping and discrimination can be reduced among members of society’s
many cross-cutting cleavages . Written for advanced undergraduates,
graduate students, and scholars in social psychology, personality psychology, political psychology, multicultural psychology, and sociology, this book
is also an excellent resource for courses on women's studies and migration
studies .
