Empirical Evidence for Transference-Focused Psychotherapy and Other Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for Borderline Personality Disorder

Writing about psychodynamic psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder (BPD) is difficult because it is not a unified approach. In fact, it is often said that psychoanalysis, although frequently used singularly, is in actuality a plural noun representing an array of theoretical ideas and technical applications. These schools broadly include ego psychology, object relations theory, self-psychology, and attachment theory.
