  Synopsis Details Contents Reviews  
In this volume, Dr Volkan uses precise, strong and sometimes poetic language to present a treatment approach for work with borderline patients. His entire treatment method is set forth in six steps that reflect the patient's actual sequential experience in the therapeutic process. Unlike many therapists who write about therapy approaches, Volkman presents his work with nine psychosis-prone borderline patients who underwent his specific treatment plan, as well as a detailed account of a six-year, seven-month analysis of Pattie, which the author described as a "long journey into an intrapsychic world".
