About this Item

Neuware - Practitioners encounter patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) with surprising frequency; indeed, 1 in 10 emergency room visits and 1 in 20 primary care appointments are estimated to involve people with BPD. Applications of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Practical Guide was written not for the psychiatrist engaged in lengthy and complex psychotherapy with these patients but for the generalist who needs the basic skills to deliver good care to this sizeable patient population in need of help. This guide condenses the vast expanse of the latest scientific research and describes the use of good psychiatric management (GPM) with different patient populations, in conjunction with different modalities, for different professions, and in different treatment settings. Constructed carefully by two leading psychiatrists in the field of BPD, the book is designed for maximum utility with stand-alone chapters offering clear guidelines for managing BPD.

About this title

Synopsis

Inspired by the 2014 handbook on Good Psychiatric Management (GPM), Applications of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Practical Guide distills the latest scientific research on borderline personality disorder (BPD) into a useful guide for any generalist practitioner who wants a basic skill set to effectively manage patients with BPD. Written in a down-to-earth style, this book serves as a practical road map for clinicians from all corners of the clinical universe: the primary care provider, the emergency room doctor, the social worker, the psychopharmacologist, the psychotherapy supervisor, the dialectical behavior therapy specialist, and the generalist in an outpatient clinic, as well as other practitioners. Emphasizing GPM's efficacy and arguing for its relevance and utility across diverse patient populations, clinical settings, and practitioner roles, the volume provides helpful how-to advice and wisdom for managing patient care. The book is not about lengthy intensive interventions, it is about management strategies (i.e., calming, encouraging, advising) to enable patients with BPD to pursue productive lives.

A case-based text that any health professional, no matter their level, will find easy to use, Applications of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Practical Guide is accessible, actionable, and indispensable.
