This issue of Psychiatric Clinics of North America, edited by Drs.
Frank Yeomans and Kenneth Levy, will offer a comprehensive review
of key topics of importance in the study of Borderline Personality
Disorder. The series is led by our Consulting Editor, Dr. Harsh
Trivedi of Sheppard Pratt Health System. This issue will explore
the following topics: Conceptual models, Diagnosis and assessment,
Differential diagnosis, Community and Clinical Epidemiology,
Comorbidity, Longitudinal Course, Neuroscience and social
cognition, Attachment, Psychotherapy and medication treatment
research, Psychotherapy with children and adolescents, and Family
and patient perspectives, among others.
Borderline conditions are a growing presence in the treatment room,
yet they are uncommonly resistant to treatment. Dr. Kernberg and
his colleagues have already articulated the modality they call
Transference-Focused Psychotherapy. Now, in an unusually textured
elaboration, they confront the complications that limit
treatability--co-existing psychopathologies, early
trauma/dissociation, problems endemic to the therapeutic situation
(attachment disturbances, erotic transferences)--and bring new
rounds of clinical ammunition to meet those challenges.
