Managing Extreme Maladaptive Borderline Personality Disorder Content
Therapists need to focus on the driving theme behind extreme maladaptive behaviors in clients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) rather than getting lost in overt content. This involves linking symptoms to underlying themes like abandonment or low self-worth, empathizing with the client's experiences that led to these behaviors, and encouraging adaptive strategies. By assisting clients in understanding and replacing maladaptive patterns, therapists can help build insight and empowerment over time.
