Firstly, and most importantly, chapters are longer, more detailed and pitched at a higher level, which will better meet the needs of graduate students, researchers, and more seasoned academics. Secondly, there is now a more even and adequate coverage of the whole of personality psychology - not only compared to the first edition but, we believe, to similar handbooks on the market. Thirdly, the first edition had separate chapters on a number of psychopathological disorders; for conceptual depth and clarity, the second edition has fewer chapters of a more integrative and comprehensive character.
