"The organization of each volume is standard and well structured for review and research. Wiley's reference volumes have almost invariably been well received and reviewed. This set is no exception to the norm, and authoritatively addresses the relationships between personality and mental disorders in both the adult and the child. At the same time, each volume can stand on its own merit as a psychology handbook that shows the relationships−positive and negative−to psychopathology." (American Reference Books Annual, 2008)
