Borderline Psychopathology and Its Treatment - 1985

Gerald Adler’s *Borderline Psychopathology and Its Treatment* offers a penetrating look into the complexities of borderline personality, where emptiness, fragile identity, and turbulent relationships dominate inner life. Blending psychoanalytic theory with vivid clinical insight, Adler traces the developmental origins of these struggles and shows how they surface in therapy through transference and countertransference. With clarity and empathy, he outlines strategies for engaging patients, containing their distress, and fostering growth. Both a theoretical contribution and a practical guide, this book remains an essential resource for clinicians seeking to understand and treat one of the most challenging—and most human—forms of psychopathology. - Borderline Psychopathology and Its Treatment - Gerald Adler, M.D. Published 1985, Jason Aronson, New York Hardcover.
