A Dissociation Model of Borderline Personality Disorder

This book addresses one of the fundamental, understudied issues of borderline personality disorder (BPD): dissociation and a lack of sense of self. Exploring dissociation from developmental, neurobiological, and behavioral perspectives, Russell Meares presents an original theory of BPD, offering new insights into this debilitating disorder and hope for recovery. An accompanying manual offers therapists and patients a user-friendly guide to general principles of treatment via case examples, therapeutic con-versations, and common comorbid problems.
