Borderline und Narzissmus

In this easy-to-understand practical book, Dr. Elinor Greenberg shows how to recognize borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid personality adaptations and how therapists, psychologists, and physicians can work successfully with affected patients. Unlike many other therapists, Greenberg believes narcissistic personality disorders are treatable: "Patterns can be changed. Anyone who does the necessary therapy work can develop coping strategies and heal childhood wounds." The author presents diagnoses and promising treatment options and illustrates them with many examples from her many years of practice. It becomes clear that people with a borderline personality disorder long above all for love, narcissists strive for admiration, and schizoid personalities centrally seek security—in comparison to other people in extreme to pathological forms.
