Book Overview
This is a text on the practical problems a therapist encounters when conducting treatment of patients with personality disorders. The author presents a variety of useful forms of intervention, showing how the therapist's capacity to comprehend and be empathetic with these difficult borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid personality disorders is limited by his or her ability to understand the meaning of the patient's behaviour. The text shows the clinician how to translate the language of the personality disorder, turning theory into clinical practice.

An excellent introduction to object relations theory
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book was my introduction to object relations theory and inspired an epiphany in understanding personality disorders. I subsequently tried to read other books on object relations and failed. Mansfield makes heavy theoritical material understandable for therapists who don't have strong backgrounds in dynamic or analytical orientations.
