  • Title: Techniques for reducing therapy-interfering behavior in patients with borderline personality disorder. Similarities in four diverse treatment paradigms.
    Author: Allen DM.
    Journal: J Psychother Pract Res; 1997; 6(1):25-35. PubMed ID: 9058558.
    Abstract:
    Successful management of patient behaviors that interfere with the process of psychotherapy is essential to treating patients with borderline personality disorder. Provocative patient behaviors that induce a strong negative reaction from the therapist must be attenuated. Strategies for doing so used in four different treatment paradigms--Kernberg's expressive psychotherapy, Linehan's dialectical behavior therapy, Benjamin's interpersonal psychotherapy, and Allen's unified psychotherapy--are examined, and striking similarities are seen. A theoretical model is proposed to explain why the techniques may be effective.
