“Given our propensity to think “brain” disease, such as neurocognitive disorders or white matter damage in depression, borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a rare topic for clinicians to discuss in mainstream geriatric mental health circles. Nevertheless, the authors of this volume make a most compelling case in a thorough yet easily digested book that BPD is not only prevalent but also overlooked in the diagnosis and treatment of older adults, especially in long term care facilities. They bring a rich background of many years study of BPD to the attention of clinicians working with older adults, unique in my view (I have not encountered such a volume in my 40 years working in geriatric psychiatry). The field should be most grateful to the authors and editors for expanding our perspective and filling in a gap in our knowledge.” – Dan G Blazer MD, MPH, PhD, JP Gibbons Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, Duke University Medical Center
“In this volume, the authors address one of the complicated implications of the biological imperative: the recognition, understanding and management of Borderline Personality Disorder in late life. Combining the expertise of a broad variety of authorities, they have assembled a text of uniform style and focus. Clinically-centered and evidence-based, it encompasses a humanistic view of these complicated individuals and their circumstances, always rooted in sound science. Chapter authors have combed a wide array of the field’s literature and gleaned the most relevant. Each chapter is summarized in “Key points” that organize the topic for the reader. Case histories illuminate and clarify throughout. This text will prove indispensable to students, trainees and practitioners in a variety of settings” – David Bienenfeld, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Wright State University
