Dr. Kramer has a deep and abiding interest and expertise in the many forms of psychotherapy that have been developed for those with personality disorders or less than optimally mature ways of seeing themselves and others and functioning in the world. He has brought together in this book chapters written on each of the five major empirically based treatments for borderline personality disorder (BPD; Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Transferencefocused Psychotherapy, Mentalization-based Treatment, General Psychiatric Management, and Schema-Focused Therapy) and two others that are widely used in their treatment (Cognitive Analytic Therapy and the Unified Protocol for Emotional Disorders that has been adapted for BPD). Other chapters pertain to therapies used with a variety of personality disorders. Each chapter carefully describes a specific form of psychotherapy or a method for structuring a case formulation. Each type of therapy is somewhat different than the others. Each method for developing a case formulation if also different and even unique to that form of treatment.
