Diagnosing Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in young people
has long been a tough call for clinicians, either for fear of
stigmatizing the child or confusing the normal mood shifts of
adolescence with pathology. Now, a recent upsurge in relevant
research into early-onset BPD is inspiring the field to move beyond
this hesitance toward a developmentally nuanced understanding of
the disorder.
The "Handbook of Borderline Personality Disorder in Children and
Adolescents" reflects the broad scope and empirical strengths of
current research as well as promising advances in treatment. This
comprehensive resource is authored by veteran and emerging names
across disciplines, including developmental psychopathology,
clinical psychology, child psychiatry, genetics and neuroscience in
order to organize the field for an integrative future. Leading-edge
topics range from the role of parenting in the development of BPD
to trait-based versus symptom-based assessment approaches, from the
life-course trajectory of BPD to the impact of the DSM-5 on
diagnosis. And of particular interest are the data on youth
modifications of widely used adult interventions, with session
excerpts.
