Summary: A fresh and very readable approach to the treatment of BPD
Comment: BPD has posed many problems to therapists. This excellent book is an attempt to focus on the relationships that BPD sufferers have with health professionals. The book gives plenty of vignettes that sound realistic and are helpful in showing what's meant with relationship management. The overriding problem with BPD sufferers is the distorted relationships they build with authority figures. Mental Health workers are therefore prone to experiencing the worst of their behaviours as the struggle to wrestle control from them becomes a central feature in their overall management. I am intrigued by approaches like "No therapy therapy" and giving them maximum control over their treatment. Treating them as responsible adults sounds logical but becomes difficult in a real life situation. A very thorough intake becomes crucial, also in order to fully explore the terms of a contract. This should specify in detail the consequences of certain behaviours. On top of the challenging contents, it's a good read, too!
