In discussion with our lead therapist the other day, she said she has done some of her best work with clients she simply didn't like, and who often simply didn't like her. She said the energy caused by that often breaks more ground than a friendly therapeutic relationship.
And I'm afraid I really don't understand your theory around someone with BPD having to learn to manipulate <I>better</i>. Learn <I>different</i>, yes.. Learn how to do it in a much less damaging manner.
And the same for other damaging behaviours.. Reinforce the positive, safe behaviours, and not the bad, dangerous behaviours.Nikki
