Dr. James F. Masterson’s developmental approach to borderline personality disorder—a complex condition that profoundly affects an individual’s emotional world, relationships, and sense of self—provides an in-depth perspective by examining the origins of the disorder through early childhood experiences and the process of individuation. In the book A Developmental Approach to Borderline Personality Disorder in the Masterson Approach, Dr. Meral Aydın addresses the developmental antecedents of borderline personality disorder according to the Masterson Approach, together with the therapeutic method developed on that basis, and clearly demonstrates how the theory translates into practice. Dr. Aydın sets out the intrapsychic development of borderline personality disorder, how clinicians can access the inner experiences of individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, how these individuals can be treated, and the fundamental structure of the processes of uncovering and working with the Real Self. The book offers a comprehensive and illuminating resource for anyone interested in clinical practice, personality development, psychotherapy, and personality disorders.
