Six percent of people in North America will develop borderline personality disorder (BPD) in their lifetime, and about 46% of them will have alcohol use disorder (AUD) at the same time. Alcohol use exacerbates the symptoms of both diseases, rendering treatment more challenging and increasing the risk of suicide. Integrated treatments have been lacking. Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder meets the urgent need for such an integrated approach. It provides clearly articulated descriptions of both BPD and AUD, outlining clinical patterns and how to diagnose them with confidence. Relying on general psychiatric principles with which most clinicians are already familiar, as well as up-to-date standards of care for both BPD and AUD, the handbook pays particular attention to areas of potential synergy, providing clinical logic for addressing complex, real-world cases. Topics include the following: • Progress assessment, psychoeducation, and goal setting;• Managing suicidality and nonsuicidal self-harm;• Pharmacotherapy;• Multimodal treatments, including mutual-help groups and family intervention; and• Level-of-care considerations. The authors stress that, in the absence of evidence-based manualized therapy for treating BPD and AUD simultaneously, clinicians already have the tools to increase treatment retention, reduce the risk of suicide and death, and provide a sensible road map in the face of interpersonal, behavioral, and emotional challenges inherent to recovery for both conditions.

This guide distills the latest scientific research on borderline personality disorder (BPD) into a useful guide for any generalist practitioner who wants a basic skill set to effectively manage patients with BPD. This book serves as a practical road map for clinicians from all corners of the clinical universe: the primary care provider, the emergency room doctor, the social worker, the psychopharmacologist, the psychotherapy supervisor, the dialectical behavior therapy specialist, and the generalist in an outpatient clinic, as well as other practitioners. Emphasizing GPM's efficacy and arguing for its relevance and utility across diverse patient populations, clinical settings, and practitioner roles, this volume provides helpful how-to advice and wisdom for managing patient care. The book is not about lengthy intensive interventions; it is about management strategies (i.e., calming, encouraging, advising) to enable patients with BPD to pursue productive lives.

It is difficult to improve on a classic, but the fifth edition of Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice does just that, offering the updates readers expect with a deft reorganization that integrates DSM-5® with the author's emphasis on psychodynamic thinking. The individual patient is never sacrificed to the diagnostic category, yet clinicians will find the guidance they need to apply DSM-5® appropriately. Each chapter has been systematically updated to reflect the myriad and manifold changes in the 9 years since the previous edition's publication. All 19 chapters have new references and cutting-edge material that will prepare psychiatrists and residents to treat patients with compassion and skill. The book offers the following features: Each chapter integrates new neurobiological findings with psychodynamic understanding so that clinicians can approach their patients with a truly biopsychosocial treatment plan. Excellent writing and an intuitive structure make complicated psychodynamic concepts easy to understand so that readers can grasp the practical application of theory in everyday practice. The book links clinical understanding to the new DSM-5® nomenclature so that clinicians and trainees can adapt psychodynamic thinking to the new conceptual models of disorders. New coverage of psychodynamic thinking with relation to the treatment of patients on the autism spectrum addresses an increasingly important practice area. Posttraumatic stress and dissociative disorders have been combined to allow for integrated coverage of primary psychiatric disorders related to trauma and stressors. A boon to clinicians in training and practice, the book has been meticulously edited and grounded in the latest research. The author firmly believes that clinicians must not lose the complexities of the person in the process of helping the patient. Psychodynamic Psychiatry in Clinical Practice, Fifth Edition, keeps this approach front and center as it engages, instructs, and exhorts the reader in the thoughtful, humane practice of psychodynamic psychiatry.
