| | | APSA_NY12-300 | | Plenary Address: Core Issues in the Treatment of Personality Disordered Patients Speakers: George G. Fishman, MD (Chestnut Hill, MA); Dan H. Buie, MD (Wellesley Hills, MA); Robert Lindsay Pyles, MD, President-Elect (Wellesley Hills, MA) Neurotic patients possess the capacities required for maintaining their basic self-stability. Personality disordered patients do not. They continuously need to depend on others to provide them with the capacities they need in order to maintain basic self-stability. Clinical experience and relevant literature indicate that these capacities are five in number. They concern self-realness, self-holding so as not to experience aloneness, self-worth, self-love, and identity. This presentation focuses on understanding the consequences of deficits of these capacities along with treatments that can enable patients to develop these capacities for themselves. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
