Patients with personality disorders need targeted treatments that address the specific aspects of the core pathology and tackle the challenges they present to treatment clinicians. Such patients are often difficult to engage, prone to ruptures in the therapeutic alliance, and have difficulty adhering to a manualised treatment. Giancarlo Dimaggio, Antonella Montano, Raffaele Popolo, and Giampaolo Salvatore aim to change this by developing a practical and systematic manual for the clinician, using Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy (MIT).
Key Features
- Comprehensive Approach: Detailed procedures for addressing a range of personality disorders.
- Structured Guidance: Instructions from forming an alliance to promoting change.
- Clinical Examples: Includes summaries of therapies and session transcript excerpts.
Additional Information
The book is divided into two parts: Pathology and Treatment. It provides precise instructions on how to move from the basic steps of drafting a therapy contract and promoting self-reflections to the more advanced steps of helping the patient move toward health and adaptation. Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy for Personality Disorders will be welcomed by psychotherapists, clinical psychologists, and other mental health professionals involved in the treatment of personality disorders.
