Borderline personality disorder 1st ed.

Written by an expert in the field of BPD, Borderline Personality Disorder: A Multidimensional Approach presents a practical approach to the management of patients with this disorder. Designed for readers who are skeptical of facile explanations, this book provides a broader view of the etiology of BPD than has been presented in previous studies. Readers will appreciate not only the review of the current research but also its theoretical integration into practice. Borderline Personality Disorder has two goals: 1. to build a comprehensive theory of etiology that takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors; and 2. to suggest treatment guidelines that are consistent with this theory and that are based on the findings of clinical trials.
