Description:
A Developmental Model of Borderline Personality Disorder is a landmark work on this difficult condition. The book emphasizes a developmental approach to BPD based on an in-depth study of inpatients at Chestnut Lodge in Rockville, Maryland, during the years 1950 through 1975 and the authors' thirty years of clinical and supervisory experience.
Review Quotes:
With the reader's indulgence, I would like to begin this review with my final comment: this may well be the best book on borderline personality disorder you are likely to read. . . . As for the treatment section, there is so much wisdom packed into its two chapters that I gave up underlining the gems with highlighter lest I underline the whole 63 pages. . . . I hope this wonderful book of Judd and McGlashan will inspire others to carry on this work, learning along the way what makes borderline patients behave as they do, and what we can do to make them better.
