In addition to being a critical reexamination of traditional theories, Empathetic Treatment of Borderline Personality: A Disorder of Trauma, Attachment, and Dissociation addresses BPD in light of recent research on relational trauma, child development, and dissociative processes. This provides a better understanding of the disorder's evolution and an updated definition to work within. Through vivid case studies and understandable, research-based theory, an innovative vision of the therapist-patient bond is brought to light. This new approach to BPD therapy meets patients at the level of their own experience to provide them with a more secure base of attachment and supportive relationship.
