More on Working with Borderline Clients

A plug for this book, just out from one of my clinical colleagues in Sydney.

Guidelines for the Management and Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder.

This is a very practical hands on book focussing on what to do and how to respond to this complex client group.  It promotes a strong  Linehan model (dialectical behaviour therapy).  The newer Transference Focussed and Schema Focussed don’t get much of a mention. It has good chapters on working with other health profession and managing risk.  I definitely recommend it. If you are in Australia or even if you are not in Australia and want to know about this book contact Julia Shearsby at Bankstown Mental Health.
