Time-limited Day Treatment for Personality Disorders : Integration of Research and Practice in a Group Program

This volume examines an 18-week partial hospitalisation programme - the Edmonton Day Treatment Programme.

This therapeutic model has proved successful and the features of the programme include its complete group orientation, its staff organisation, and its psychodynamic approach.

The book interweaves discussions of theory, clinical practice and empirical research to explore the components that make this programme successful.

This model has important implications for partial hospitalisation programmes, group therapy techniques, and the treatment of personality disorders.
