This book is an ideal resource for general readers who want a clear
understanding of people suffering with chaotic emotions, and for
clinicians treating patients for Borderline Personality Disorder
(BPD). The patterns of behavior of those with borderline
personality disorder (BPD) are often frustrating and mystifying to
both clinicians and family members, despite several decades of
study and research on this form of distress. Borderline Personality
Disorder: New Perspectives on a Stigmatizing and Overused Diagnosis
presents a thorough critical and historical review of the diagnosis
of BPD and explores-through academic and clinical narratives-the
different processes that occur in borderline behavior patterns. The
authors offer new perspectives that emphasize the whole person
rather than a diagnosis, addressing the emotional storms and mood
instability of BPD, providing guidance on managing emotional chaos
in the therapeutic relationship, and explaining how to use one's
own feelings as a clinical tool. Their approach gives an intimate
experiential feel for the interpersonal processes that occur in
psychotherapy for both the patient and therapist. The result:
readers will better understand who the person behind the diagnosis
is, and comprehend what it really feels like to be someone
struggling with these difficult interpersonal patterns. Provides a
historical exploration of how the diagnosis of Borderline
Personality Disorder emerged Explains what causes Borderline
Personality Disorder Presents case vignettes that give readers an
unprecedented look into the lived experience of persons suffering
from emotional chaos
