Many clinicians consider this patient population difficult  if not impossible  to treat. However  in recent years dedicated experts have focused their clinical and research efforts on the borderline patient and have produced treatments that increase our success in working with borderline patients. Transference-Focused Therapy (TFP) is psychodynamic treatment designed especially for borderline patients. This book provides a concise and comprehensive introduction to TFP that will be useful both to experienced clinicians and also to students of psychotherapy.  TFP has its roots in object relations and it emphasizes that the transference is the key to understanding and producing change. The patients internal world of object representations unfolds and is lived in the transference with the therapist. The therapist listens for and makes use of the relationship that is revealed through words  silence  or  as often occurs in the case of individuals with some borderline personality disorder  acting out in subtle or not-so-subtle ways. This primer offers clinicians a way to understand and then use the transference and countertransference for change in the patient.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652044415029,"sku":"ByrdShop_0765703556","price":126.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780765703552.jpg?v=1781848870","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-primer-of-transferencefocused-psychotherapy-for-the-borderline-patient-9780765703552","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
