Identitätsgrenzen des Ich

Borderline-Störung und Schizophrenie verstehen und behandeln.

---

The general profile of people suffering from schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder includes a disturbance of the individual's sense of self. Rom shows with Freud's comprehensive three structural model the limits of a self and the differences between the two disorders and the clinical relevance. The psychopathology and psychdynamics of schizophrenia and borderline disorder are explained. The author's examples create links between theory and affected people. Her deep understanding for diverse states of being, patients and behaviour towards people in a psychotic or psychosis state form the centre of this book. Another essential part depicts an artifical chronology of a therapy and explains how therapeutic relations can be build, maintained and developed constructively with people suffering. Questions on the daily life of a therapist in each therapy phase are analysed and possible dilemmas are pointed out. Conclusion, seperation and the time after a therapy are further important topics which round off the chapter. This book is not a manual but an orientation guide.
