Abstract:
This thesis presents an in-depth exploration of psychotherapists’ lived experience of working with borderline personality (BPD) disorder in psychodynamic psychotherapy, using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). The existing research literature suggests that working with borderline patients is very difficult, as they can evoke negative counter transference experiences in therapists and thus make the working alliance difficult to maintain. The stigmatising and negative attitude towards BPD, which is found amongst mental health professionals, can cause many therapists to avoid working

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to explore personal experiences of change of people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) who had partaken in psychological therapy. The aim was to develop the first model of change grounded in service user experience so that this could inform recovery-oriented practice in relation to this client group. A constructivist grounded theory design was chosen. Eight people with a diagnosis of BPD who had completed group-based therapy programmes or were currently attending a peer support group were interviewed about their experiences of change using a se

Abstract:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a distressing difficulty prevalent within UK secondary-care settings. Previous qualitative studies have examined individual experiences of long term Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) groups for people with BPD. However, the psychoeducational component of MBT has not yet been researched coherently. The current study explored lived experiences of manualised MBT-psychoeducation groups for people with BPD within NHS secondary care settings. Eight participants took part in interviews about their recent participation in these groups. Interpretative phenomenol

Abstract:
The principal intention of this study was to explore the heuristic value of the story of the alchemical vessel in understanding borderline conditions and pursuing their psychotherapy. It establishes the pertinence of the case study as a method of exploring the content and process of psychotherapy. The essential nature of story-telling is examined and the hypothesis is made that psychotherapy, borderline conditions, the myth of the alchemical vessel and the case study all reflect instances of story-telling. Towards the end of examining their mutual reflection, and thus heuristic value, elements

Abstract:
Clinicians’ attitudes and behaviors toward patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are affected by the label’s stigma. Complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) was proposed as a comprehensive and less stigmatizing diagnostic category for clients with BPD and a history of complex trauma. Given considerable similarities across both disorders’ diagnostic criteria, the CPTSD framework holds promise as a means to improve therapists’ attitudes towards clients with BPD and a history of complex trauma. However, this quality of CPTSD had not yet been examined empirically. Using vign

Abstract:
People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) have a particular difficulty in forming and maintaining close relationships. The Relational Affective Model (Mizen, 2014) proposes that intimate relationships activate claustro-agoraphobic anxieties as the person alternately seeks and flees emotional closeness. The therapeutic relationship is a specialised kind of intimate relationship in which claustro-agoraphobic anxieties are likely to be activated in a process which psychoanalysis understands as transference. The understanding and working through of this transference is the mutative factor

Abstract:
In recent years, research of borderline personality disorder (BPD) has intensified and a specialized treatment, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, has been developed by Marsha Linehan to treat this disorder. Proponents of the biosocial theory, the foundation for this treatment model, contend that BPD is the result of a series of transactions over time between the individual's biological disposition and his or her “invalidating environment.” This theory is based on clinical experience and has not been studied.
