The psychological treatment of personality disorder
PC Horton
The author presents three case reports of individuals with personality
disorder, none of whom demonstrated significant ability for transitional
relatedness before therapy. In therapy, he conceptualized for the two adult
patients the importance of their inability to experience in the
transitional mode; he offered concrete potential transitional objects to
the one child patient. The therapeutic results were good.
