Gabbard and Wilkinson have written a book of such lucidity, clinical soundness, and highly readable scholarliness that it deserves to become a standard and enduring textbook for anyone involved in doing individual psychotherapy with borderline patients…. the lucidity with which they write is such that the reader need not be a psychoanalyst, nor a candidate in any analytic institute, to make good use of their teaching. Furthermore, practitioners… will find, here, illumination and enrichment. I personally have learned much from my reading of this book by Gabbard and Wilkinson.

Management of Countertransference with Borderline Patients is a masterful work. Gabbard and Wilkinson write with elegant simplicity and yet with great clinical and theoretical sophistication bringing to bear the most advanced conceptions of primitive mental processes and intersubjective phenomena…. This book is a major contribution to the development of our understanding of the treatment of borderline patients. It will be of good interest to all clinicians working with borderline patients whether the therapist is a beginning student or an experienced practitioner.
