Borderline disorder is a complex, serious, and nonspecifically treated, often chronic disorder that often leads to the limits of emotional resilience for those affected and their social environment. With the development of disorder-specific treatment concepts in the 1990s, empirically proven treatment success was demonstrated for the first time. 

This book is based on the dialectical-behavioral psychotherapy of Marsha Linehan and presents theoretical and treatment principles in concise form. The volume offers many practical tips for diagnosing, planning treatment, and structuring outpatient and inpatient  treatment. Therapists will find a clearly structured treatment concept as well as numerous practice-oriented instructions for coping with this therapeutic challenge.

For:
• psychotherapists
• professionals in psychiatry or
psychosomatic medicine
• social workers
• teachers and students
