Psicoterapia delle personalità borderline

by John F. Clarkin, Frank E. Yeomans, Otto F. Kernberg

"Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality describes principles of TFP intervention and contains a wealth of practical guidelines on how to apply TFP to individual patients on a session-by-session basis. This groundbreaking treatment manual focuses on the tasks of the therapist and the sequence of responses by the patient for each phase of treatment. Recognizing that patients with borderline personality organization (BPO) start treatment at different points of their pathology, the authors provide an expansive description of the treatment course with high-level and low-level BPO patients, making the book relevant to a wide range of clinical situations." With insights garnered from years of successful clinical application, Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality will sharpen the skills of those already familiar with TFP and introduce others to a trailblazing approach to therapy.

I have read sections of this book over and over and over, and I expect I will continue to do so over my career. The approach is radical, taking seriously what goes on in peoples minds, and it's more complicated, sure, but it's liberating, too.

This is simply the best book I have ever read on the treatment of complex mental health. The authors deliver example interpretations of split and projected object relations with a profound clarity that often left me reeling.

regarding tfp and kernbergs ideas around borderline patients, i think this is a good book to start. the book is well written in a simple but with full of case materials and teaching points. i liked it as all the other works of these authors.

Take what you like, leave the rest. Really interesting to think about how people's internalized self and other affects their relationships throughout their life journey.
