If you have some experience working with Borderline Personality Disordered clients, share about some of the challenges you’ve experienced working with these clients. How did you respond to the Mentalization and Transference-Focused therapy approaches to working with these clients? Please explain your reactions. Once you’ve addressed these videos, make any comments you like on the Life Passages traditional psychoanalytic therapy sessions done with the high functioning (non-borderline) client. End your post with a lingering question.
If you have no experience working with Borderline Personality Disordered clients, discuss how traditional brief psychoanalytic sessions with a normal (non-Borderline client) in the Life Passages video were similar to the Mentalization and Transference-Focused psychoanalytic approaches with borderline clients and how the Life Passages traditional sessions were different from these two models. How did the therapists compare in their roles with each type of client? Please end with a lingering question.
