商品簡介
Considered one of the most difficult conditions to treat, BPD often seems to resist even the possibility of a positive outcome. However, practitioners Donald Roberts (also The Masterson Institute for Psychoanalytical Psychotherapy) and Deanda Roberts have used their findings in attachment research and object relations theory to develop an integrated understanding of BPD as an attachment disorder that relies on a pervasive false self for adaptation and personal connections. They describe normal development and the real self, BPD development and the false self, the emergence of the real self, stance and neutrality, listening and speaking with the patient, and practical considerations. They supply a number of case studies and means of assessment throughout the therapeutic experience. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
