PTSD/Borderlines in Therapy: Finding the Balance

This book examines the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and adult borderline personality disorder, with a particular focus on symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The legacy of childhood abuse establishes a pattern in which the past influences the patient’s present life in profound ways, from symptoms such as dissociative episodes to relationship styles such as victimization. Kroll presents a working model and treatment strategies for the therapist of PTSD/borderline patients.
