Known as Integrative Relational Psychotherapy (IRP), this comprehensive treatment approach draws upon an array of theories, methods of change, and technical interventions.".

"At the heart of IRP is a biopsychosocial model of personality that draws upon the latest research into genetic, developmental, social, cultural, interpersonal, and other forces that can give rise to and sustain personality pathologies." "Representing an important advance in the treatment of one of the most challenging classes of psychological disorders, Relational Therapy for Personality Disorders is source of inspiration and ideas for all mental health professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
