Treating The Borderline Patient: A Contract-based Approach

by Frank E. Yeomans

Expanding on the object relations approach to borderline pathology developed by Otto Kernberg and described in the Psychodynamic Psychotherapy of Borderline Patients , the authors stress the practical implications of the contract, illustrating how it provides a microcosm of the patient's inner world and an opportunity for the therapist to gain an early understanding of the nature of the patient's resistances.
