Attachment and Contained Splitting: A Combined Approach of Group and Individual Therapy to the Treatment of Patients Suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder
In this article the authors describe the three-year combined group and individual therapy project for patients suffering from severe borderline personality disorder. The project attempted through careful supervision and regular whole-team meetings to integrate the research findings of attachment theory into the practice of both group and individual therapy. Material from the group sessions follows a description of the project's organization and the relevant attachment theory.
