Foreword

WRITING A BOOK THAT COMBINES BOTH contemporary theory and clinical practice is an enormous feat. Eve Caligor and her coauthors accomplish this feat in Psychodynamic Therapy for Personality Pathology: Treating Self and Interpersonal Functioning. In this book (which grew out of and is a companion volume to the authors Transference-Focused Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide []), the authors attempt to do many things and succeed at all of them. In fact, this book is a gift to anyone who wants to understand or to treat patients.

This is an exciting time for personality disorders. We are on the verge of having a model of personality pathology associated both with a model of the normal personality and with a model of treatment. This new model includes all points of view such as genetics, the brain, and, of course, psychology. This model includes an understanding of the development of each factor and the interactions between these factors. Eve Caligor and her coauthors explain it all.

First of all, in Section I of this book, the authors demonstrate in detail how the object relations model of the mind (developed by Otto Kernberg, a coauthor of this book) works for an understanding of personality, both normal and pathological. In the course of presenting this model, the authors focus on self experience and interpersonal functioning, both of which are brought together by identity consolidation. In so doing, they show how this object relations model fits with new findings from other fields, including neuroscience, attachment theory, developmental theory, and even relational psychoanalysis. They also discuss, among many other topics, how object relations theory interacts with other kinds of psychodynamics, how neurotic personality organization can be understood in contrast to borderline personality organization, and how Kernbergs theory differs from Kleinian theory. In addition, the reader is also treated to a guide for reading this book, to a concise definition of many terms, to many clinical examples, to numerous charts and tables providing a wide variety of information (for example, a clear hierarchy of defenses), and to many relevant references.

Most important, Caligor and coauthors demonstrate how the object relations model of personality fits with the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders in DSM-5, which also focuses on self experience and interpersonal relationships as the hallmarks of personality. The authors construct is an important development that invites readers to bring together contemporary psychiatry and contemporary psychoanalysis, as these two fields merge to develop an integrated theory of personality. Such an integration has been a long time in coming and is one of the authors greatest achievements.

In Section II, the authors turn to treatment. They outline the basics of transference-focused psychotherapyextended (TFP-E), both at the highest theoretical level and at the most experience-near, how-to level. Throughout, Caligor and coauthors explain that the aim of TFP-E is always to promote identity consolidation, with the goal of improving self experience and interpersonal functioning; TFP-E always involves an active, supportive, and positive attitude toward each patient. The authors explore the use of the therapeutic relationship, and how to understand and use transference and countertransference. They also outline the strategies of the treatment itself in a logical fashion. They explore how to understand and engage in treatment for narcissistic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder. Finally, they explore issues around tailoring the treatment for the individual patient, so that TFP-E is both principle driven and flexible. As a result, the reader comes away with both a theoretical understanding of the relationship among the patients personality organization, the therapeutic relationship, and treatment strategiesand a well-organized and humane guide for how to do dynamic psychotherapy.
