Book excerpt: Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide is a treatment manual designed for mental health professionals who work with individuals presenting with moderate to severe forms of personality disorder. Although the authors' research has been with patients with a DSM-5 diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD), the book focuses on the broader group of patients with borderline personality organization, expanding the reach and utility of this volume. The authors, who are among the foremost experts in BPD, combine principles of intervention with clinical cases that illustrate the principles as applied in a variety of situations. The clinical knowledge that is imparted by this approach is further developed through online videos that accompany the text. Phenomenal advances in treatments for borderline pathology have been made over the past 25 years. Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide marshals these theoretical advances and data from developmental and neurocognitive studies to enrich the reader's understanding of both the pathology itself and the elements of effective clinical intervention and treatment. The book represents an important contribution to the literature on BPD.
