Abstract

Objective: Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) is an empirically supported individualized psychotherapy for patients with borderline personality disorder. This review highlights its development and current status.

Methods: A review of the theoretical background underpinning TFP and empirical advances in the development of TFP provide perspective.

Results: Otto Kernberg's object relations model of personality and its implications for assessment and diagnosis of personality disorders are described. The authors review the programmatic research that has been developed and has demonstrated the efficacy of TFP. In view of the empirical studies that have demonstrated the successful outcomes and processes of TFP for patients with borderline personality disorder, compared with other approaches, TFP has been applied to a broader range of difficulties related to patients' self-functioning and interpersonal functioning across the range of severities in personality pathology, consistent with the Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders. The authors discuss borderline personality organization in the context of interpersonal, neurocognitive, and self-regulatory dysfunction, including preliminary findings.

Conclusions: The theoretical and empirical advances in TFP lead to future directions for research evaluating personality disorder and its treatment.

移情心理治疗的实证发展。

目的:移情焦点心理治疗(TFP)是一种经验支持的边缘型人格障碍个体化心理治疗方法。本文综述了其发展和现状。方法:回顾了TFP的理论背景和TFP发展的实证进展。结果:本文描述了奥托·克恩伯格的人格客体关系模型及其对人格障碍评估和诊断的意义。作者回顾了已开发的纲领性研究，并证明了TFP的有效性。鉴于实证研究已经证明了TFP治疗边缘型人格障碍患者的成功结果和过程，与其他方法相比，TFP已被应用于更广泛的与患者自我功能和人际功能相关的困难，跨越人格病理严重程度的范围，与DSM-5人格障碍替代模型一致。作者在人际关系、神经认知和自我调节功能障碍的背景下讨论了边缘型人格组织，包括初步发现。结论:TFP的理论和实证进展为人格障碍评估及其治疗的研究指明了未来的方向。

期刊介绍： Founded in 1939, the American Journal of Psychotherapy (AJP) has long been a leader in the publication of eclectic articles for all psychotherapists. Transtheoretic in reach (offering information for psychotherapists across all theoretical foundations), the goal of AJP is to present an overview of the psychotherapies, subsuming a host of schools, techniques, and psychological modalities within the larger domain of clinical practice under broad themes including dynamic, behavioral, spiritual, and experiential.
