Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or borderline
traits are among the most difficult for mental health practitioners
to treat. They present an incredible range of symptoms,
dysfunctional interpersonal interactions, provocative behavior in
therapy, and comorbid psychiatric disturbances. So broad is this
array that indeed the disorder constitutes a virtual model for the
study of all forms of self-destructive and self-defeating behavior
patterns.
"Psychotherapy With Borderline Patients: An Integrated Approach"
fills the need for a problem-focused, clinically oriented, and
operationalized treatment manual that addresses major ongoing
family factors that trigger and reinforce the patient's
self-destructive or self-defeating behavior. In it, David Allen
draws on the theoretical ideas and techniques of biological, family
systems, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapists to
describe an integrated approach to adults with BPD or borderline
traits in individual therapy.
Innovative, practical, and specific, "the book"
* helps therapists teach their patients, through the use of
various role-playing techniques, strategies to alter the
dysfunctional patterns of interaction with their families of origin
that reinforce self-destructive behavior or chronic affective
symptoms;
* explains the nature and origins of the characteristic
oscillation of hostile over- and underinvolvement between adults
with BPD and those who served as their primary parental figures
during childhood;
* elucidates the nature and causes of the dysfunctional
communication patterns in patients' families that lead to
misunderstanding; and
* provides concrete, clearly spelled out advice for therapists
about how to deal with provocative patient behavior, how to
minimize distorted descriptions by patients of significant others,
how to avoid patients' misuse of medications, and how to respond to
managed care restrictions on patients' insurance coverage.
"Psychotherapy With Borderline Patients: An Integrated Approach"
will be welcomed by all clinicians who work with these patients,
whatever their training or theoretical orientation.
