Description
Answering the need for an integrated, clinically relevant text on Borderline Disorders, this volume provides a flexible approach that draws from ego psychology, object relations theory, self psychology, and child development research. Designed as a resource and a guide, it translates complex concepts in ways that will be accessible to practitioners from a wide range of mental health disciplines. Case vignettes illustrate the approaches of Otto Kernberg, James Masterson, Gertrude and Rubin Blanck, Heinz Kohut, and Gerald Adler.
