Understanding personality disorders
by Rainer Sachse
Patients with personality disorders are considered difficult, hard to treat and also have a reputation for upsetting psychiatric teams and hospital wards. The author shows how to develop an understanding for people with this problem. For him, personality disorders are basically relationship disorders. Using his own model of double action regulation, he shows how unfavourable relationship patterns develop and what kind of problems result for the patients and their social environment.
