Clarkin, PhD, & Otto F. Kernberg, M D, presents a model of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and its tr eatment that is based on contemporary psychoanalytic object relations th eory as developed by the leading thinker in the field, Otto Kernberg, MD , one of the authors of this insightful manual. The model is supported a nd enhanced by material on current phenomenological and neurobiological research and is grounded in real-world cases that deftly illustrate prin ciples of intervention in ways that mental health professionals can use with their patients. The book first provides clinicians with a model of borderline pathology that is essential for expert assessment and treatme nt planning and then addresses the empirical underpinnings and specific therapeutic strategies of transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP). The book recognizes that each BPD patient presents a unique treatment chall enge. Grounded in the latest research and rich with clinical insight, Tr ansference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide will prove indispensable to mental health professionals s eeking to provide thoughtful, effective care to these patients.\n\n \n\ n \n\nTreating Pathological Narcissism with Transference-Focused Psycho therapy, by Diana Diamond, PhD, Frank Yeomans, MD, PhD, Barry L. Stern, PhD, & Otto F. Kernberg, MD. This book presents a contemporary object r elations conceptualization of narcissism and its disorders that integrat es psychoanalytic theory with recent developments in neurocognition, soc ial psychology, descriptive psychiatry, and developmental attachment the ory—an approach that reflects the work over the past 30 years of the a uthors colleagues in the Personality Disorders Institute at New York Pre sbyterian Hospital–Weill Cornell Medical College. It integrates the va rious theoretical and technical influences, including the neo-Kleinians who have described the psychoanalytic approaches to narcissistic patholo gy and the unique combination of high-functioning and primitive mental s tates that characterize them. The book also integrates the attachment th eorists who have identified the insecure and disorganized attachment rep resentations that characterize those with pathological narcissism, as we ll as those who work within the conceptual framework of mentalization wh o have identified the deficits in imagining and understanding the intent ional mental states of self and others and the epistemic hypervigilance that characterize patients with personality disorders. In addition, it i ncludes the contributions of the relational school who have emphasized t he unique quality of each patient–therapist dyad and the co-constructe d nature of transference and countertransference. Although the book inco rporates the work of other theoretical traditions, the approach is most reliant on the work of the North American object relations theorists, pa rticularly co-author Kernberg. This work integrates aspects of ego psych ology and contemporary Freudian drive-based perspectives with attachment research and neurobiology that expand the understanding of fundamental motivational systems that contribute to personality functioning and deve lopment. The book thus represents the authors collective effort to refin e and implement an intensive psychodynamic therapy with a population of patients with a challenging disorder that manifests itself in disparate ways.\n\n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------- ---------------\n\n  END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
