Download or read book Transference Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder written by Frank E. Yeomans 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 presents a model of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and its treatment that is based on contemporary psychoanalytic object relations theory as developed by the leading thinker in the field, Otto Kernberg, M.D., who is also one of the authors of this insightful manual. The model is supported and enhanced by material on current phenomenological and neurobiological research and is grounded in real-world cases that deftly illustrate principles of intervention in ways that mental health professionals can use with their patients. The book first provides clinicians with a model of borderline pathology that is essential for expert assessment and treatment planning and then addresses the empirical underpinnings and specific therapeutic strategies of transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP). From the chapter on clinical assessment, the clinician learns how to select the type of treatment on the basis of the level of personality organization, the symptoms the patient experiences, and the areas of compromised functioning. In order to decide on the type of treatment, the clinician must examine the patient's subjective experience (such as symptoms of anxiety or depression), observable behaviors (such as investments in relationships and deficits in functioning), and psychological structures (such as identity, defenses, and reality testing). Next, the clinician learns to establish the conditions of treatment through negotiating a verbal treatment contract or understanding with the patient. The contract defines the responsibilities of each of the participants and defines what the reality of the therapeutic relationship is. Techniques of treatment interventions and tactics to address particularly difficult clinical challenges are addressed next, equipping the therapist to employ the four primary techniques of TFP (interpretation, transference analysis, technical neutrality, and use of countertransference) and setting the stage for and guiding the proper use of those techniques within the individual session. What to expect in the course of long-term treatment to ameliorate symptoms and to effect personality change is covered, with sections on the early, middle, and late phases of treatment. This material prepares the clinician to deal with predictable phases, such as tests of the frame, impulse containment, movement toward integration, episodes of regression, and termination. Finally, the text is accompanied by supremely instructive online videos that demonstrate a variety of clinical situations, helping the clinician with assessment and modeling critical therapeutic strategies. The book recognizes that each BPD patient presents a unique treatment challenge. Grounded in the latest research and rich with clinical insight, Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide will prove indispensable to mental health professionals seeking to provide thoughtful, effective care to these patients.

Download or read book Supportive Therapy for Borderline Patients written by Lawrence H. Rockland and published by Guilford Publication. This book was released on 1992 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ``I have become convinced that many borderline patients are not helped by the psychiatric treatment they receive and even more troubling, that a fair percentage of them are made worse by it....Dr. Rockland's approach makes sense to me at a time when much of the literature on the psychotherapy of borderline personality does not....I have learned a great deal from this book and feel confident that it will have a pronounced beneficial effect on clinical practice.' --From the Foreword by Allen J. Frances Noting the potential dangers of uncovering approaches, early writers on borderline personality emphasized the value of supportive therapy. Despite these warnings, the preponderance of the current literature on borderline disorder is confined to exploratory psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Redressing this imbalance in the literature, this important new work is the first to present an organized and detailed description of how supportive interventions are accomplished with borderline patients. With a uniquely practical focus on ``how to do it,' Lawrence H. Rockland applies the principles of Psychodynamically Oriented Supportive Therapy (POST)--an approach that he formulated--to patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Divided in three sections, the book's opening chapters review the changing concepts of the borderline, vicissitudes in treatment recommendations, the general principles of POST, and the indications for applying this approach to BPD. The second section presents the 2 1/2-year psychodynamic supportive treatment of a patient with BPD. The four phases of treatment--evaluation and treatment planning, early phase, middle phase, and termination--are discussed in detail and illustrated with session dialogue and critical commentary by the author. The final section addresses two major problems--therapist countertransference and patient acting out. Other topics include continuous/intermittent supportive therapy, psychopharmacology in supportive therapy, and supportive aspects of inpatient treatments. Filling a significant gap in the literature, this important new volume's systematic and comprehensive exposition of supportive therapy for borderline patients makes it an invaluable resource for all practitioners who work with this difficult population. Replete with clinically useful suggestions and guidelines, it is ideal for trainees in all mental health disciplines. It is relevant to any course on dynamic psychotherapy, and serves as a text for all students of borderline pathology and its treatment.

Download or read book A Primer of Transference focused Psychotherapy for the Borderline Patient written by Frank E. Yeomans and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2002 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treating borderline patients is one of the most challenging areas in psychotherapy because of the patient's extreme emotional expressions, the strain it places on the therapist, and the danger of the patient acting out and harming himself or the therapeutic relationship. Many clinicians consider this patient population difficult, if not impossible, to treat. However, in recent years dedicated experts have focused their clinical and research efforts on the borderline patient and have produced treatments that increase our success in working with borderline patients. Transference-Focused Therapy (TFP) is psychodynamic treatment designed especially for borderline patients. This book provides a concise and comprehensive introduction to TFP that will be useful both to experienced clinicians and also to students of psychotherapy. TFP has its roots in object relations and it emphasizes that the transference is the key to understanding and producing change. The patient's internal world of object representations unfolds and is lived in the transference with the therapist. The therapist listens for and makes use of the relationship that is revealed through words, silence, or, as often occurs in the case of individuals with some borderline personality disorder, acting out in subtle or not-so-subtle ways. This primer offers clinicians a way to understand and then use the transference and countertransference for change in the patient.

Download or read book Relationship Management Of The Borderline Patient written by David L. Dawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers guidelines for managing the therapist-patient relationship during crisis intervention and longer-term therapy with patients who exhibit borderline symptoms. Since to do no harm is the primary goal of any therapist who encounters such a patient, an appropriate therapist-patient relationship is crucial; moreover, skillful management of this relationship can, in itself, be the most effective and safe treatment. The authors present a conceptual model, based on self psychology and interpersonal theory, for reframing the borderline symptoms and the therapist's reactions. Case examples demonstrate effective relationship management and therapeutic interventions.
