| Abstract: | The Case Report is a forum for distinguished clinicians representing a range of theoretical orientations to share diagnostic formulations and treatment recommendations of the same psychotherapy patient. The present case is that of Ms. S, a young woman with features of borderline personality disorder, mood disturbance, and posttraumatic stress disorder who was self-referred for individual outpatient psychotherapy. Treatment was precipitated by the sudden onset of vivid, snapshot-like memories of early childhood sexual abuse. Material from the initial weeks of therapy is presented, followed by a discussion of points of convergence and divergence from the expert therapists. Finally, a few closing comments are offered by the case contributor. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
