Download or read book Personality Disordered Patients written by Michael H. Stone and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2007-05-03 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determining the amenability of personality disorders to psychotherapy -- a patient's capacity to benefit from verbal approaches to treatment -- is important in helping clinicians determine the treatability of cases. Michael Stone here shares the factors he has observed over long years of practice that can help practitioners evaluate patients, stressing the amenability of the various disorders to amelioration. By focusing on which patients are likely to respond well to therapeutic intervention and which will prove most resistive, his book will help therapists determine with what kinds of patients they will most likely succeed and with which ones failure is almost a certainty. Stone establishes the attributes that affect this amenability -- such as the capacity for self-reflection, motivation, and life circumstances -- as guidelines for evaluating patients, then describes borderline and other personality-disordered patients with varying levels of amenability, from high to low. This coverage progresses from patients belonging to the DSM "anxious cluster," along with the depressive-masochistic character and the hysteric character, to patients who demonstrate an intermediate level of amenability to psychotherapy. He introduces the interrelationship between borderline personality disorder and dissociative disorders and discusses treatability among certain patients in Clusters "A" and "C," as well as others with narcissistic, histrionic, depressive disorders. Final chapters address the most severe aberrations of personality and the limitations they impose on the efficacy of therapy. Personality-Disordered Patients is filled with practical, clinically focused information. This guideline structured book: Covers all personality disorders-including ones not addressed in the latest DSM such as sadistic, depressive, hypomanic, and irritable-explosive Identifies both attributes necessary for treatability and factors associated with low treatability Pays particular attention to borderline disorders, which represent the most discussed conditions and are among the most challenging to psychotherapists Reviews personality traits whose presence, if intense-even if unaccompanied by a definable personality disorder-creates severe problems for psychotherapy Numerous case studies throughout the book provide examples that will help therapists determine which of their own patients are most likely to benefit from their efforts and thereby establish their own limits of effectiveness. By alerting practitioners to when therapy is likely to fail, these guidelines can help them avoid the professional disappointment of being unable to reach the most intractable patients.
Download or read book Transference Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder written by Frank E. Yeomans M.D. Ph.D. and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide is a treatment manual designed for mental health professionals who work with individuals presenting with moderate to severe forms of personality disorder. Although the authors' research has been with patients with a DSM-5 diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), the book focuses on the broader group of patients with borderline personality organization, expanding the reach and utility of this volume. The authors, who are among the foremost experts in BPD, combine principles of intervention with clinical cases that illustrate the principles as applied in a variety of situations. The clinical knowledge that is imparted by this approach is further developed through online videos that accompany the text. Phenomenal advances in treatments for borderline pathology have been made over the past 25 years. Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide marshals these theoretical advances and data from developmental and neurocognitive studies to enrich the reader's understanding of both the pathology itself and the elements of effective clinical intervention and treatment. The book represents an important contribution to the literature on BPD.
Download or read book Personality Disorders written by Jonathan H. Dowson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-11-23 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personality disorders consist of long-term patterns of maladaptive behaviour which have a generally unrecognised importance in clinical practice. However, personality disorders are the origins of many medical consultations and social ills, including substance abuse, alcoholism, self-harm, suicide, neglect of children, criminality and HIV transmission. In a comprehensive summary and evaluation of the clinical literature, this book seeks to dispel the myth that personality disorder is simply a category for those problem individuals for whom nothing can be done. With detailed coverage of recognition, assessment and management, Drs Dowson and Grounds provide a co-ordinated empirically-based account of those aspects of personality disorders which are of relevance to psychiatrists and allied disciplines, including clinical psychologists, social workers, criminologists, specialist nurses and primary care physicians.

Download or read book Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder written by Len Bowers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with personality disorders are to be found in all branches of psychiatric services, from the outpatient and community care through to acute inpatient care. Their behaviour is difficult, manipulative, threatening and they are hard to manage in institutional settings. Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder is based on unique research study conducted in the three English high security hospitals - Ashworth, Rampton and Broadmoor. Through in-depth analysis of an extensive questionnaire survey followed by personal interviews, Len Bowers shows how positive or negative attitudes to PD patients arise and are maintained over time, as well as discusses what impact they have upon nurses and the care they provide to patients, and draws some practical conclusions. The difficulties facing staff who care for and treat PD patients are enormous, and constitute a significant personal challenge for the psychiatric professional of any discipline. For the first time this book provides details of the most effective ways of creating a positive context for working with personality disorder and contains a blueprint for training and organisational structures across the professional spectrum.
