Treating Personality
Disorders in Children and Adolescents
A Relational Approach
Efrain Bleiberg
|
 |
This groundbreaking volume presents a
framework for understanding personality disorders in children, distinguishing them from
more frequently diagnosed problems, and delivering effective interventions. Efrain
Bleiberg draws on extensive clinical experience and cutting-edge neurobiological research
to illuminate how specific personality disorders develop when children--and
caregivers--become trapped in rigid, maladaptive patterns of feeling, coping, and
relating. Strategies are described for integrating individual psychotherapy, family
treatment, and pharmacotherapy to provide meaningful help to this highly challenging
population. With particular attention to building and maintaining a strong therapeutic
alliance, the book includes case vignettes and transcripts that bring each stage of
treatment to life.
