This book is a complete guide to using the evidence-based Good Psychiatric Management (GPM) approach for the treatment of BPD. The book demystifies the disorder, supplying treatment guidelines, case studies, and online video demonstrations of core techniques needed to deliver effective short-term, intermittent, and non-intensive therapeutic care.
"Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Adolescents With Borderline Personality Disorder uses good psychiatric management for adolescents to demystify borderline personality disorder in young people. The book describes common problems that arise during each phase or aspect of treatment, from patient rejection of diagnosis and conflicts among clinicians providing care to nonadherence to medications and concerns about stigma. The pragmatic principles outlined in this book are based on real-world experience and bolstered by scientific evidence and provide a road map to provide "good enough" care even in the absence of specialized treatments"--
This guide distills the latest scientific research on borderline personality disorder (BPD) into a useful guide for any generalist practitioner who wants a basic skill set to effectively manage patients with BPD. This book serves as a practical road map for clinicians from all corners of the clinical universe: the primary care provider, the emergency room doctor, the social worker, the psychopharmacologist, the psychotherapy supervisor, the dialectical behavior therapy specialist, and the generalist in an outpatient clinic, as well as other practitioners. Emphasizing GPM's efficacy and arguing for its relevance and utility across diverse patient populations, clinical settings, and practitioner roles, this volume provides helpful how-to advice and wisdom for managing patient care. The book is not about lengthy intensive interventions; it is about management strategies (i.e., calming, encouraging, advising) to enable patients with BPD to pursue productive lives.
Acclaimed for its wisdom and no-nonsense style, this authoritative guide has now been revised and expanded with 50% new content reflecting a decade of advances in the field. Distinguished psychiatrist Joel Paris distills current knowledge about borderline personality disorder (BPD) and reviews what works in diagnosis and treatment. Rather than advocating a particular therapy, Paris guides therapists to flexibly interweave a range of evidence-based strategies, within a stepped-care framework. The book presents "dos and don'ts" for engaging patients with BPD, building emotion regulation and impulse control skills, working with family members, and managing suicidality and other crises. It is illustrated throughout with rich clinical vignettes. New to This Edition *Up-to-date findings on treatment effectiveness and outcomes. *Chapter on dimensional models of BPD, plus detailed discussion of DSM-5 diagnosis. *Chapter on stepped care, including new findings on the benefits of brief treatment. *Chapter on family psychoeducation and other ways to combat stigma. *New and expanded discussions of cutting-edge topics--BPD in adolescents, childhood risk factors, and neurobiology.
Borderline Personality Disorder in Adolescents is a comprehensive guide to BPD, offering an overview of the disorder, its treatment options, and advice on how to live with it day-to-day.
This manual, edited by experts on BPD, provides a framework for implementing a stepped care model in settings where access to specialized treatments is limited. The authors contend that the principles of good psychiatric management (GPM) represent a basic foundation that all clinicians can learn and that combined with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), one of the most effective newer treatment modalities, progress can indeed be realized.
In Borderline Personality and Mood Disorders: Comorbidity and Controversy, a panel of distinguished experts reviews the last two decades of progress in scientific inquiry about the relationship between mood and personality disorders and the influence of this empirical data on our ways of conceptualizing and treating them. This comprehensive title opens with an introduction defining general trends both influencing the expansion of the mood disorder spectrum and undermining clinical recognition and focus on personality disorders. The overlaps and differences between MDD and BPD in phenomenology and biological markers are then reviewed, followed by a review of the overlaps and distinctions betw...
Until recently, borderline personality disorder has been the step-child of psychiatric disorders. Many researchers even questioned its existence. Clinicians have been reluctant to reveal the diagnosis to patients because of the stigma attached to it. But individuals with BPD suffer terribly and a significant proportion die by suicide and engage in non-suicidal self injury. This volume provides state of the art information on clinical course, epidemiology, comorbidities and specialized treatments
