Practitioners encounter patients with borderline personality
disorder (BPD) with surprising frequency; indeed, 1 in 10 emergency
room visits and 1 in 20 primary care appointments are estimated to
involve people with BPD. Applications of Good Psychiatric
Management for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Practical Guide
was written not for the psychiatrist engaged in lengthy and complex
psychotherapy with these patients but for the generalist who needs
the basic skills to deliver good care to this sizeable patient
population in need of help. This guide condenses the vast expanse
of the latest scientific research and describes the use of good
psychiatric management (GPM) with different patient populations, in
conjunction with different modalities, for different professions,
and in different treatment settings. Constructed carefully by two
leading psychiatrists in the field of BPD, the book is designed for
maximum utility with stand-alone chapters offering clear guidelines
for managing BPD. Topics and features include the following: * Case
vignettes, which are designed to make the book practical and
eminently useful, provide "decision points" where alternative
interventions are proposed and discussed, demonstrating how to
apply the concepts outlined in the chapter. Although the authors
review the relative merits of these interventions, the presentation
promotes active learning and the ability to adapt to unpredictable
clinical realities. * Challenges to implementing GPM that are
specific to a particular treatment setting-consultations, inpatient
and outpatient settings, emergency departments, and colleges-are
directly addressed so the guidelines are immediately relevant to
the target audience of each chapter.* Clinicians from a variety of
fields, including social workers, primary care providers,
psychopharmacologists, and training supervisors, care for patients
with BPD, and the book makes concrete suggestions about how to
apply GPM in a range of practice types.* Implementation of GPM in a
brief format and how it can be applied to other personality
disorders is also addressed. It explains how GPM can be integrated
with other evidence-based treatments for BPD, such as dialectical
behavior therapy, mentalization-based treatment, and
transference-focused psychotherapy. Written in a down-to-earth
style, this case management text will appeal to the resident on
call, the specialist, and the generalist. Above all, Applications
of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder:
A Practical Guide addresses the challenges specific to different
treatment contexts to help busy clinicians provide informed,
effective care for their patients with BPD.
