Borderline personality disorder

new perspectives on a stigmatizing and overused diagnosis

Presents a thorough critical and historical review of the diagnosis of BPD and explores--through academic and clinical narratives--the different process that occur in borderline behavior patterns. The authors offer new perspectives that emphasize the whole person rather than a diagnosis, addressing the emotional storms and mood instability of BPD, providing guidance on managing emotional chaos in the therapeutic relationship, and explaining how to use one's own feelings as a clinical tool.--From jacket.
