It is increasingly recognized that a significant number of
individuals with personality disorders can benefit from therapy. In
this new edition - based on the treatment of over a hundred
patients with antisocial and borderline personality disorders -
Kate Davidson demonstrates that clinicians using cognitive therapy
can reduce a patient's tendency to deliberately self-harm and to
harm others; it also improves their psychological well-being. Case
studies and therapeutic techniques are described as well as current
evidence from research trials for this group of patients. Cognitive
Therapy for Personality Disorders provides a thorough description
of how to apply cognitive behavioural therapy to patients who are
traditionally regarded as being difficult to treat: those with
borderline personality disorders and those with antisocial
personality disorders. The book contains detailed descriptions and
strategies of how to: formulate a case within the cognitive model
of personality disorders overcome problems encountered when
treating personality disordered patients understand how therapy may
develop over a course of treatment. This clinician's guide to
cognitive behavioural therapy in the treatment of borderline and
antisocial personality disorder will be essential reading for
psychiatrists, clinical and counselling psychologists, therapists,
mental health nurses, and students on associated training courses.
