When treating patients with severe self-structure disorders, classical psychoanalysis reaches its limits. Individuals with structural damage are often hardly capable of self-critical reflection, making standard analytical treatment with interpretations, transference, and countertransference show little success.

This is where Gerd Rudolf's groundbreaking concept comes in: The therapist meets the patient at their individual structural level. The focus is then on collaborative work with the patient to address or at least improve their self-deficit.

The 3rd edition of this title, which has become a standard work especially for psychodynamically oriented therapists, benefits from numerous insights from therapeutic practice, considers the many interconnections with other forms of therapy, and has been extensively revised, particularly in the diagnostic and therapeutic sections.

• A practically applicable guide with numerous concrete clinical examples!
