Reviews
This is an excellent book for treating patients with BPD. There are too many useful features to enumerate, but what I found most interesting is the data that most BPD patients get better with "good enough" treatment and do not need to be managed through high-level tertiary care centers. This book provides clinicians with the guidelines and the confidence to treat borderline patients, including those who have not had training or supervision related to this problem. Of particular importance is that Dr. Gunderson's approach is flexible and pragmatic, in recognition of the fact that each clinical situation is different, and that he addresses many clinicians' fears of liability, suicidality, and hostile/negative borderline patient interaction that almost all of us have experienced. I highly recommend this book for anyone treating patients with borderline personality disorder.

Synopsis
This book is a guide to using the evidence-based Good Psychiatric Management (GPM) approach for the treatment of BPD. The book demystifies the disorder, supplying treatment guidelines, case studies, and online video demonstrations of core techniques needed to deliver effective short-term, intermittent, and non-intensive therapeutic care., The diagnosis and treatment of patients with BPD can be fraught with anxiety, uncertainty, and complexity. How welcome, then, is the Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder, which teaches clinicians what to do and how to do it, as well as what not to do and how to avoid it. The author, a renowned researcher and clinician, has developed a new evidence-based treatment, Good Psychiatric Management (GPM) that comfortably utilizes cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic interventions that are practical and simple to implement. Because psychoeducation is an important component of GPM, the book teaches clinicians how to educate their patients about BPD, including the role of genetics and the expected course of the disease. This approach offers advantages both to practitioners, who become more adept at honest communication, and to patients, who are encouraged to have realistic hopes and to focus on strategies for coping with BPD in daily life. The book is structured for maximum learning, convenience, and utility, with an impressive array of features. * Section I provides background on BPD, including the myths that sometimes discourage clinicians from treating these patients and that hamper the effective treatment of the disorder.* Section II, the GPM Manual, provides a condensed and clear description of the most essential and specific GPM interventions that clinicians can learn from and use in everyday practice.* Section III, the GPM Workbook, offers case vignettes which reference chapters from the manual. Each vignette has a number of "decision points" where alternative interventions are proposed and discussed. * To further facilitate learning, a set of nine interactions is found in a series of online video demonstrations. Here, readers can see in vivo illustrations of the GPM model in practice.* Finally, a set of appendices provides critical information, such as a comparison of GPM with other evidence-based treatments of BPD, scaling risk and response strategies, and family guidelines. Designed to be a basic case management text for all hospital, outpatient clinic, or office-based psychiatrists or mental health professionals who assume primary responsibility for the treatment of those with BPD, the Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder constitutes a breakthrough in the treatment of these often misunderstood patients., The diagnosis and treatment of patients with BPD can be fraught with anxiety, uncertainty, and complexity.
