In this episode of Book Club, join returning host Dr Rick Yeatman and guest Dr Paul Cammell – two Melbourne based psychiatrists – as they discuss Rick’s chosen book, ‘Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder’ (2014) by John Gunderson and Paul Links.
Paul says, [On diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)]
“a lot of practitioners will wonder ‘do I name it’ or ‘do I make the diagnosis,’ and we know in lots of contexts BPD is underdiagnosed…” “he [the author] really demonstrates an approach to making the diagnosis and educating a person in a way that’s demystifying and not, in any way about stigma.”
Drawing on their extensive clinical experience in the field, Rick and Paul explore the book’s key themes, presenting an empowered and empowering perspective on working in the field of BPD.
Tune in to hear why Paul describes Gunderson as a ‘titan of the field’ whose goal was to simplify and make more mainstream the diagnosis and treatment of BPD; how Rick and Paul summarise the key messages and principles chapter by chapter, ultimately celebrating the book’s practical usefulness.
Be inspired by the positive messages about working in the field of, or living with BPD that Rick and Paul channel through this book.
