Presenting their material in a question and answer format, the authors (all professors of psychiatry at the Weill Medical College of Cornell U.) explain the basics of diagnostic and treatment approaches of transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), which they argue is the "most highly developed psychodynamically-based treatment for borderline personality disorder." Before offering advice on therapist strategies in clinical settings, they define the foundational concepts of TFP and explain how the concepts relate to each other. Annotation c.
