What is Split Self-Split Object, 2nd ed: Understanding and Treating Borderline, Narcissistic, and Schizoid Disorders about?

Split Self/Split Object helps clinicians to diagnose personality disorders, understand patients' experiences of these disorders, and provide effective psychotherapy. It is written from the perspective of clinical practice with a minimum of theory. The capacity to be empathic with a patient's inner feeling states depends on the ability to understand the meaning of the patient's comments and behavior. This is difficult with patients who have personality disorders because their perception of reality is distorted by their propensity for splitting. The task for the therapist is complicated with them by their sudden swings in attitude toward the therapist and by their tendency to view those attitudes as reality based. Patients with personality disorders speak a foreign language; they use familiar words but in some instances with meanings uniquely shaped by the way they experience the world. This book will improve the therapist's fluency in the language of personality-disordered patients. The protective mechanisms used by these patients are relatively primitive and maladaptive, interfering with their function and sometimes making their lives and their therapy sessions chaotic.
