Marsha Linehan - Recipient of the 2012 American Psychological Foundation (APF) Gold Medal Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Application of Psychology! Representing a comprehensive, integrated approach to therapy, this is the first volume to provide strategies proven effective in controlled treatment trials. All clinicians know how difficult it is to work with borderline personality disorders. In this work, Marsha M. Linehan not only provides specific guidelines that creatively combine the best elements of behavioral, personality, psychoanalytic, strategic and other commonly employed modalities, but helps the therapist survive the process. This volume will be invaluable to psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, primary care physicians, internists, and nurses.
