Summary: The history of ‘personality disorder’ services is problematic to say the least. The very concept is under fire, services are often expensive and ineffective, and many service users report feeling that they have been deceived, stigmatised and excluded. Yet while there are, inevitably, serious (and often destructive) relational challenges involved in the work, creative networks of learning do exist – professionals who are striving to provide progressive, compassionate services for and with this client group. Working Effectively with ‘Personality Disorder’ shares this knowledge, articulating an alternative way of working that acknowledges the contemporary debate around diagnosis, reveals flawed assumptions underlying current approaches, and argues for services that work more positively, more holistically and with a wider, more socially focused agenda.

The history of ‘personality disorder’ services is problematic to say the least. The very concept is under fire, services are often expensive and ineffective, and many service users report feeling that they have been deceived, stigmatised and excluded. Yet while there are, inevitably, serious (and often destructive) relational challenges involved in the work, creative networks of learning do exist – professionals who are striving to provide progressive, compassionate services for and with this client group.

Working Effectively with ‘Personality Disorder’ shares this knowledge, articulating an alternative way of working that acknowledges the contemporary debate around diagnosis, reveals flawed assumptions underlying current approaches, and argues for services that work more positively, more holistically and with a wider, more socially focused agenda.
