Finally, a book that bridges the gap between theory, affective
neuroscience, and the art of psychotherapy. With stunning clarity
regarding object relations theory, more than three decades of
experience as highly respected clinicians, and access to the latest
research regarding emotion regulation and the dynamics of
attachment, these fine authors have crafted a book that is as
readable as it is essential to read. This state-of-the-art volume
is crucial for anyone seeking to understand current affective
research and its application to the healing of difficult to treat
patients. These pages stand out as among the most important written
regarding an integration of theory, research, and treatment in the
past decade.

This book eloquently describes the normal process of attachment and
how disorders of this process lead to a Borderline Personality
Disorder. The writing is clear and concise. Emphasizing that the
psychotherapy requires affect attunement, as well as therapeutic
interventions, the authors illustrate how the therapist takes into
account the patient's intrapsychic structure in the way he or she
talks to the patient. I recommend this book to all therapists to
increase and solidify their therapeutic approach to the Borderline
Personality Disorder.
