Reviews
Meares does an excellent job of integrating the relevant brain/neuroscience research . . . There are compelling hypotheses drawn . . . very thought-provoking. . . . I would recommend these two books to anyone who works with borderline patients. . . . [O]utstanding for the researcher/theoretician and is thought-provoking for the clinician as well., With this fascinating book, Professor Russell Meares has created a magnificent piece of work, based on the premise that Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a 'failure of personal synthesis.' Understanding this integrative failure is essential in the treatment of patients suffering from this incapacitating biopsychosocial disorder. Starting with the pioneering studies of Hughlings Jackson, Pierre Janet, and William James, Meares thoroughly examines the theoretical, scientific, and clinical evidence for his model of BPD. The book's great value surpasses the domain of BPD proper and should attract a much wider readership than BPD specialists only., This highly readable, brilliant book is a true masterpiece in the contemporary study of psychopathology. Russell Meares's original and evidence-based account of the core of borderline personality disorder convincingly explicates its dissociative nature and its relationships with impulsivity, hindered mentalization, and traumatic memories. Meares offers clinicians a unique understanding of the borderline patient's affects and inner experience of self, thereby laying the foundation for highly effective therapeutic exchanges., [A] fascinating and easy-to-read book, by an author with broad clinical experience and scholarship, who has been working with patients with BPD for over 30 years and has conducted an amazing number of empirical studies in this field. . . . The history of dissociation . . . is presenting in a fascinating way, intermingled with sketches of patients treated by the author. This blending of historical and clinical knowledge will make the book interesting for both researchers and clinicians. . . . I would recommend this volume to both psychiatrists and psychotherapists., Superb--deliciously dense with detail and sheer narrative force as Charles King tells the twentieth-century history of the Near East through the prism of one great city. A sepia-toned classic!, This excellent book, the culmination of a distinguished career, is vital for anyone seeking to understand the extreme mental suffering of what we currently call BPD. Drawing from neuroscience, historical scholarship, psychological research, and clinical observation, Russell Meares offers an erudite, compassionate account of the 'painful incoherence' at the heart of this disorder. By synthesizing both left- and right-brain data into a useful narrative, which is also a pleasure to read, he demonstrates on a grand scale the integrative process that nourishes us all and agonizingly eludes individuals with borderline psychologies., These two companion volumes together make a remarkable and original contribution to the theoretical and clinical literature on borderline personality disorder (BPD). . . . [T]his is the most comprehensive, evidence-based, and theoretically integrated model of BPD that I have read., This new book by Meares is a significant contribution to the BPD field, and reinforces the importance of narrative telling in the co-creation of self and other within psychotherapy., King has combed out the threads of this complex and highly nuanced story in a hugely enjoyable, magnificently researched and deeply absorbing book., [A] fascinating and easy-to-read book, by an author with broad clinical experience and scholarship, who has been working with patients with BPD for over 30 years and has conducted an amazing number of empirical studies in this field. . . . The history of dissociation . . . is presented in a fascinating way, intermingled with sketches of patients treated by the author. This blending of historical and clinical knowledge will make the book interesting for both researchers and clinicians. . . . I would recommend this volume to both psychiatrists and psychotherapists., Popular history at its best, authoritative and hugely entertaining. Few places were as colorful as Istanbul between the wars and Professor King captures all the chaotic brio and contradictions of a city, and a culture, reinventing itself., From PTSD and borderline personality to distancing procedures and emotional responses to trauma, this is packed with insights any analyst can use.

Synopsis
BPD is not a new phenomenon, but much about it remains unclear and controversial. Meares's three-stage treatment emphasizes the failure of synthesis among the elements of psychic life, the need for both personal and social development, integration of unconscious traumatic memory, affect regulation, hallucinosis, stimulus entrapment, paranoid states, and ultimately, restoration of the self. Mental health professionals working with patients suffering from symptoms of BPD will find an invaluable theoretical grounding for treating the difficult--and varied--symptoms of BPD., This book addresses one of the fundamental, understudied issues of borderline personality disorder (BPD): dissociation and a lack of sense of self. Exploring dissociation from developmental, neurobiological, and behavioral perspectives, Russell Meares presents an original theory of BPD, offering new insights into this debilitating disorder and hope for recovery. BPD is not a new phenomenon, but much about it remains unclear and controversial. Meares's three-stage treatment emphasizes the failure of synthesis among the elements of psychic life, the need for both personal and social development, integration of unconscious traumatic memory, affect regulation, hallucinosis, stimulus entrapment, paranoid states, and ultimately, restoration of the self. Mental health professionals working with patients suffering from symptoms of BPD will find an invaluable theoretical grounding for treating the difficult--and varied--symptoms of BPD., A neurobiologically informed approach to a very difficult-to-treat disorder. This book addresses one of the fundamental, understudied issues of borderline personality disorder (BPD): dissociation and a lack of sense of self.

    Item was shipped quickly, and was securely packaged. Items was in at least as good a condition as described; it may actually be in better condition than described, as the book looks almost new and unread. Given the great condition of the book, the price was an exceptional value. Furthermore, I made contact with the seller with a query; and, they got back to me very quickly, and were able to answer all my questions. Overall, a great transaction. I would buy from this seller again. Thanks!

    The book arrived as described and as pictured. It shipped quickly, but was shipped in only a plastic bag mailer, so not much protection. I will also forewarn, the seller does not answer questions about the specific condition of a book. I know because I asked if two different books had any writing in the margins and received the same pre-generated response both times declining to answer. Despite this, I would still recommend this seller if you are willing to shoulder that risk buying used books

    Quick ship and excellent communication. As described in listing. Hardback book a good value for the money. It was packaged in a very thin plastic covering with no padding. The book was fine and not damaged. Delivered on time. I ordered from this seller over the last couple of years. I like to read Beatrice Small's books. A+
