Book Reviews of Behind the Masks: Personality Disorders in Religious Behavior
Book Review: Useful
Summary: 3 Stars
The citatations and material are somewhat dated, but they are accurate, relevant, and well researched as far as I can tell. Sometimes the author presents a tone of thinly veiled contempt for the subjects, but this is balanced out well by his own admissions of weaknesses and similar failings. Overall, a good informative book that could be more useful if brought up to date with DSM IV and with a few more modern references. Also, the work could benefit by more information on how to use the knowledge that is imparted, e.g. how people in a wider range of roles might implement plans for self-improvement and helping others. Overall an insight producing easy to read book with a straightforward and appropriately narrowed topic.
