Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is generally viewed as an incurable mental disorder. However, current research reveals the superiority of Schema Therapy (ST) in terms of treatment response and recovery rates. Schema Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder proposes a conceptual model for BPD, a treatment model for treating patients, and a practical set of techniques. In this book, treatment planning, therapeutic relationship, cognitive and behavioral techniques, specific strategies, behavioral pattern breaking and termination of therapy are comprehensively discussed by Arnoud Arntz and Hannie van Genderen. At the same time, case examples are frequently used to demonstrate how to put the methods into practice. This practical book, which presents the reader with techniques, mood identification and therapy stages in their entirety, is also supported by a series of useful brochures for patients, such as a diary and a positive logbook.
