Featuring case vignettes from nearly 30 years of Dr. Yudofsky’s clinical practice and incorporating the knowledge of gifted clinicians, educators, and research scientists with whom he has collaborated throughout that time, Fatal Flaws: Navigating Destructive Relationships With People With Disorders of Personality and Character uniquely captures the rapidly increasing body of clinical and research information about people with severe and persistent personality and character disorders. Within these pages, the author brings to life the psychopathologies of personality and character disorders through vivid vignettes based on composites of his many patients and their most important relationships—while meticulously changing the identifying facts and relevant details to protect confidentiality. Covering the clinical course, treatment, genetics, biology, psychology, and destructive consequences of hysterical (histrionic), narcissistic, antisocial, paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, addictive, borderline, and schizotypal personality disorders, Fatal Flaws stands out in the literature for these powerful reasons: It is written for an unusually broad audience, from mental health students and trainees of all disciplines, to highly experienced clinicians, to patients who suffer from or are in destructive relationships with people with personality disorders. It is a hybrid—part psychiatric textbook for clinicians and part self-help manual for patients and clients with personality and character disorders. It is designed to supplement treatment by providing patients with practical, evidence-based information about personality disorders and character flaws. It is particularly valuable to patients who are in psychotherapy, in part, because they are entangled in destructive relationships with people with disorders of personality and/or character. It is written in the first person, with the author directly communicating with a patient who either has a personality or character disorder or is in an important relationship with a person who has such a disorder. It is useful for people who are uncertain whether they or their loved ones have personality or character disorders, and who want to know more about these conditions and their treatments before making a decision about securing the help of a mental health professional. Fatal Flaws: Navigating Destructive Relationships With People With Disorders of Personality and Character is a compelling volume that provides the essential information and a realistic sense of the clinical experience required to inform, orient, and support novice mental health professionals and seasoned practitioners alike as they face the ongoing challenges of treating patients or clients with personality or character disorders. It should also prove to be an invaluable resource for those who wish practical and effective help in understanding and changing their destructive relationships with people who have severe and persistent disorders of personality and/or character.

The first edition of this book is regarded as a classic in its field. Now, in an expanded and updated version of The Art of Service's book, the authors once again present a step-by-step guide to Business Relationship Management. In business and IT, you have to know your customer and understand how your company interacts with him or her. The current term for this is Business Relationship Management (BRM), and The BRM Handbook is the best textbook for managers on the mechanics of BRM. It's a standout in a field that's filled with squishy books that go on at length about how important BRM is, but which lack details. Ivanka Menken provides lots of factual information, real case studies, carefully considered commentary, and reasoned criteria with which to evaluate BRM best practices and strategies. You'll get a lot from her carefully researched book. Menken devotes some of her volume to BRM background information but quickly gets to the issues that managers confronted with BRM decisions need to consider. She makes great use of bulleted lists, scorable quizzes, and checklists and templates(sections about what questions to ask relations, and why, are particularly good) that you can use right now to gauge any organization's suitability to BRM and determine how they need to change in order to get the most out of their systems. Many CIOs today are using relationship management techniques to better integrate IT into the core business units. These skills are essential, as IT is expected to play a more prominent role in the direction of the business. When a company matures and scales, it takes a different IT view, moving from reactive to predictive. The way to be successful is using relationship management techniques to further integrate IT into the business model. Integrating IT into the core business unit does not occur overnight. Instead, that trust builds through a series of successful projects that shows IT can deliver value to the business. IT is rocket science, but, at the end of the day, it's also customer service, and Customer service is listening to the business and reacting accordingly. The Business Relationship Management Handbook helps you to establish a framework for IT projects across the company and within individual business units, using relationship management practices and an investment and change management committee composed of top leaders to prioritize projects. Menken's Comprehensive Business Relationship Management Handbook is thoroughly researched and written by experienced Service Managers, then reviewed by experts in the field. You can save hundreds of hours of research and writing by starting with prewritten documents. Covering for example BRM job descriptions, BRM Responsibilities and Skills, Service Requirements, Use of the Service Portfolio, Example Service Catalogues, 8 Steps to Developing a Service Catalogue, BRM Metrics and Reports, Service Options, Mapping Responsibilities & Requirements and much more. Considering the increasing number of IT Professionals and their Organizations who want to be actively involved in IT Service Management, this book should do at least as well as the first edition, which is a bestseller.

Over the past two decades, numerous field and experimental studies on the ecology and evolution of animal and plant interactions have been reported by botanists, zoologists, and ecologists. This textbook offers a comprehensive summary of this extensive and widely scattered literature, and in so doing presents the subject as a coherent, accessible discipline. The authors describe familiar areas, such as herbivory and pollination, and discuss new information on subjects such as seed dispersal, the genetics of coevolution, structural and chemical plant defenses, and the implications of human use of animal and plant communities. As they explore these issues, the authors raise provocative questions of fundamental importance: How can an earth teeming with plant-eating animals be so green? Do plants really need animals that pollinate their flowers and disperse their seeds? What happens to tropical plant communities when fruit-eating toucans and monkeys are killed by encroaching humans? By drawing together information on many diverse aspects of the subject--and presenting a challenging and insightful look into the complexities of plant and animal inter-relationships--this unique book represents a vital contribution to the ecological literature.
