Dalla quarta di copertina:

A diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder can be a difficult and frightening experience for both the sufferer and those who care for them. It is therefore very important that sufferers and their carers are provided with clear and accessible information about the disorder and what the diagnosis may mean for them.

Understanding Your Borderline Personality Disorder: A Workbook provides a structured framework for healthcare professionals to use with those diagnosed with the disorder. The workbook covers diagnosis, treatment options and relapse prevention, as well as providing interactive opportunities to explore and discuss different symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It presents alternative coping strategies that are designed to work alongside talking and pharmacological therapies. Understanding Your Borderline Personality Disorder: A Workbook also contains frequently-asked questions sections, case studies and assessment questionnaires, providing practitioners with a complete psychoeducational resource.

An invaluable tool for all those working with Borderline Personality Disorder sufferers, this workbook will help to promote the therapeutic relationship between professional and client, and will be welcomed by psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses and mental health workers.
