6 Steps in Treatment of Border

By Vamık D. Volkan

Book Overview

In this inspired volume Dr. Vamik Volkan uses precise, strong, and, at times, poetic language to present a treatment approach for work with borderline patients. His entire treatment method is set forth in six steps that reflect patients' actual sequential experience in the therapeutic process. Dr. Volkan presents ample clinical examples, including his work with nine psychosis-prone borderline patients, as well as a detailed account of a six-and-a-half-year analysis of Pattie, which he describes as "a long journey into an intrapsychic world".
