Implementing Transference-Focused Psychotherapy Principles

The book "Implementing Transference-Focused Psychotherapy Principles" offers a comprehensive analysis of the practical application of the principles of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) in modern psychiatry. Given the current challenges in the field of mental health, particularly the high number of patients with personality disorders, this work highlights the relevance of TFP as one of the empirically validated treatment methods for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The contributions come from professionals who share their experiences in various clinical contexts, including day clinics, inpatient treatments, and outpatient services. Each chapter follows a structured format that addresses patient groups, treatment environments, the training of professionals, as well as treatment outcomes and future research goals. This book expands the existing literature on TFP by extending the focus beyond traditional individual therapy to various treatment settings and populations.
