Few disorders in psychiatry would warrant an entire volume devoted to the emotional reactions they generate in the clinicians who treat them. Borderline personality disorder is unique in its capacity to stir up affects that overwhelm treaters. In the best of circumstances, the feelings activated in the treatment of such patients provide crucial data about the patients internal world that may help to resolve a treatment impasse. In the worst of circumstances, the countertransference evoked in the treatment may compel clinicians to pursue ill-advised courses of action that result in unethical boundary transgressions by the therapist or suicide attempts by the patient.
In the course of conducting seminars throughout the country on the treatment of borderline patients, we have been struck by the ravages of countertransference in mental health professionals who treat borderline patients. The personal and professional lives of those clinicians are affected in an extraordinary way. Some clinicians describe being driven crazy by such patients. Others feel their personal lives have been so invaded that they must tell their children not to answer the telephone when it rings. Still others have vowed never to treat another borderline patient because they simply cant take it anymore.
The book we have written is designed to address the emotional tempest that therapists who treat borderline patients must face. We have provided a systematic approach to examining and managing the myriad countertransference reactions that arise in the course of treatment. We have chosen to illustrate this approach by reporting detailed accounts of the minute-by-minute and hour-by-hour interaction between therapist and patient. Although the management of countertransference is only one aspect of the overall treatment of persons with borderline personality disorder, it is clear that no other part of the treatment can be carried out in the manner intended if the clinicians emotional reactions are not taken into account first.
Treatment of borderline patients has a long and distinguished tradition at The Menninger Clinic. Indeed, the very notion of the borderline patient originated in the seminal writings of Robert Knight when he worked at The Menninger Clinic in the 1950s. During the 1960s and early 1970s, while Otto Kernberg was director of the C. F. Menninger Memorial Hospital, his classic papers on the concept of borderline personality organization were published. In the last two decades, borderline patients have been referred to The Menninger Clinic from all over the world, and groups of clinicians and researchers have continued to devote much of their careers to the understanding and treatment of these difficult-to-treat patients.
Our collaboration as coauthors of this volume began as a supervisor-supervisee relationship. As the two of us mutually struggled to articulate a methodology with which to approach the overwhelming emotional reactions encountered in the psychotherapy of borderline patients, the mentor-mentee nature of the relationship evolved over a period of a few years into a collegial collaboration. We first presented material at the 1991 annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in New Orleans in the Continuous Clinical Case Seminar format. The overflow crowd and the enthusiasm of the audience in attendance convinced us that our work should be expanded to monograph form. We have designed the book to be useful to both experienced and beginning therapists of all professional disciplines.
Writing about countertransference requires an uncompromising honesty. Although we have disguised clinical material so that patients are not recognizable, we have tried to be as open as possible about our own feelings that we encountered in the course of our work. We are grateful to a number of our Menninger colleagues who graciously shared some of their feelings in specific cases that we discussed with them. Many of their struggles also appear on the pages of this volume. The difficult self-revelation required by these accounts will be well worth it if other clinicians find them enriching and useful in their own work.
