This course introduces therapists to the art and science of Shorter-Term Treatments For Borderline Personality Disorders. Borderline patients are among the most difficult to treat, especially in today's climate of managed care. This course offers practitioners concrete suggestions for successful brief therapy with this population.
Individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder are notoriously difficult and frustrating clients. And like many other clients with severe personality disorders, the realities of managed care and shrinking budgets leave most of them out in the cold. This much needed professional guide offers treatment approaches aimed
toward realistic short-term goals: helping clients to stabilize emotions, decrease vulnerability, and work towards more adaptive day-to-day functioning. The author covers diagnostic issues, reviews the treatment strategies drawn from a variety of different models and approaches. This is a unique and much needed book.
