The diagnosis and treatment of patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can be fraught with anxiety, uncertainty, and complexity. How welcome, then, is the Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder? This essential resource teaches clinicians what to do and how to do it, as well as what not to do and how to avoid common pitfalls in BPD treatment.
Authored by a renowned researcher and clinician, this comprehensive guide introduces an innovative, evidence-based treatment approach known as Good Psychiatric Management (GPM). GPM effectively incorporates cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic interventions that are both practical and simple to implement. By focusing on psychoeducation, the book empowers clinicians to educate their patients about BPD, including insights on genetics and the expected course of the disorder.
This approach offers significant benefits:
- Enhanced Communication: Practitioners become more adept at honest communication with their patients.
- Realistic Expectations: Patients are encouraged to maintain realistic hopes and focus on effective coping strategies for BPD in their daily lives.
