Synopsis:

Based on the work of the research team, this manual offers techniques and strategies for treating patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) using Transference–Focused Psychotherapy. Unlike other books on the subject, this is not a step–by–step guidebook for treating patients; rather, it provides therapists with an overall strategy for treating BPD patients, and helpful tactics for working with individual patients on a session–by–session basis.
