Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book presents a very good overview of the research literature on BPD and is not just a discription of their own form of treatment. The authors give good coverage of research conducted in and outside of the US such as that into cognitive analytic therapy and DBT. MBT is a psychodynamic form of therapy which has some very good research backing. When their first study, an RCT, came out it renewed my interest in psychodynamic based treatments as it showed that psychodynamic therapy could be evidenced based and thus fit in with the current EBM agenda. I would recommend this book to any one who treats or works with BPD patients
