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.

Thanks for the recommended reading. I recently found a great book for clients with BPD, "Lost in the Mirror, by Richard Moskovitz. As a clinician I enjoyed this beautifully written book that explores BPD with compassion and a depth of understanding rarely seen. My clients find it empathic and illuminating.
Enjoy. I found my copy at Amazon.com -

After 30plus years as a "carer"{uk term}I find the most helpful work-after Freud-is Masud Khan's "Privacy of the Self"No doubt Khan was awful as a person but his clinical insights are marvellous-every essay in this book-hugely backgrounded -but not just a synthesist-a truly original thinker at the level of his mentor,Winnicott.

I was searching on google for blogs regarding exercise and cycling when this posting showed up in the final results. While not actually what I was looking for it was really worthy of the read and for that I could give it four stars.

Just wanted to say that label borderline is not helpful when working with borderline clients. I would recommend reading as much about attachment and lack of attachment as you can when working with people who suffer from an abandonment wound. The reason why many therapists are afaraid of working with borderline clients is because its deep work. For both.
