Challenging cases! The book presents practical and applied strategies for treating severe personality disorders. Rapid assessment of ego functions, common factors that lead to affective dyscontrol, stabilizing neurobiology, effective limit setting, techniques for achieving emotional control and more effective coping, management of suicidal and self-mutilation behavior. Primary intervention approaches include dialectical behavior therapy, some psychodynamic principles, psychopharmacology, and lifestyle management.
If you're a therapist in private practice, the odds are that, at some point,
you'll encounter a client with borderline personality disorder (BPD). You
already know how challenging it is to help people with BPD, especially within
the limited scope of treatment allowed by managed care programs. But you
want to help. And the severity of BPD, in particular the tendency of people
with BPD to engage in suicidal and self-destructive
behaviors, makes it critical that you have every chance for conducting a
successful intervention-no matter what resources are available to you.
By blending the most effective treatment techniques available for BPD into
a clear and systematic protocol, this book shows you how to maximize your
chances for helping your client achieve lasting change in the course of brief
therapy. Skills for regulation of out-of-control emotions, including some
from the much acclaimed dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), make up the core
of the program. The book also benefits from the psychopharmacological expertise
of its author, John Preston, whose Handbook of Clinical Psychopharmacology
for Therapists is the essential resource for therapists about psychoactive
medication.
"… practical,
wise, and immediately helpful advice that will improve your next session."
-Allen Frances, MD, professor and chair of the Department of Psychiatry and
Behavior Sciences at the Duke University Medical Center
