• Learn the importance of the relationship between the patient and the therapist with Borderline Personality
• Learn the importance of the relationship between a couple and therapist in treating the Borderline marriage
Description:
Here, we explore the treatment of individuals with BPD and Borderline couples from the Object Relations perspective. A primary task of object relations treatment is to interpret modes of relating through the current relationship that develops between patient and therapist, rather than making conscious the unconscious elements of any conflict. The therapeutic goal is not insight per se but the facilitation of new relationships. Through the relationship with the therapist, the patient is helped to relinquish pathological relational patterns and replace them with others based on the patient's authentic experience. The following comprises this course: Frank Summers, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology, "An Object Relations Approach" and Charles McCormack, MSW. "Borderline Marriages."
