Abstract

Conceptual and clinical problems arise in the treatment of patients with personality disorders, including three clinical problems: establishing and maintaining a therapeutic relationship with these patients is often difficult, empirically-validated treatments for personality disorders are generally not available, and personality-disordered patients typically have multiple presenting problems. We describe a case formulation model for conceptualizing and treating multiple-problem patients, and outline how it addresses these difficulties arising in the treatment of patients with personality disorders.
