Résumé : The book is structured for maximum learning, convenience, and utility, with an impressive array of features.
Section I provides background on BPD, including the myths that sometimes discourage clinicians from treating these patients and that hamper the effective treatment of the disorder.
Section II, the GPM Manual, provides a condensed and clear description of the most essential and specific GPM interventions that clinicians can learn from and use in everyday practice.
Section III, the GPM Workbook, offers case vignettes which reference chapters from the manual. Each vignette has a number of “decision points where alternative interventions are proposed and discussed.
To further facilitate learning, a set of nine interactions found in a series of online video demonstrations. Here, readers can see in vivo illustrations of the GPM model in practice.
Finally, a set of appendices provides critical information, such as a comparison of GPM with other evidence-based treatments of BPD, scaling risk and response strategies, and family guidelines.
Designed to be a basic case management text for all hospital, outpatient clinic, or office-based psychiatrists or mental health professionals who assume primary responsibility for the treatment of those with BPD, the Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder constitutes a breakthrough in the treatment of these often misunderstood patients.
