Re: EMDR and Borderline Personality Disorder

Read the recent post above about ego strengthening which is germane to your question.

There is a published article about the cautious use of EMDR with the dissociative disorders at my website www.paulsenconsulting.com, under Article Portfolio, Articles for Professionals, which you may find helpful.

Additionally, I have used EMDR with borderlines to desensitize trauma and to decrease reactivity, as well as to enhance shades-of-gray thinking. EMDR can be used in conjunction with Linehan's approach in several ways.

Finally, I'll recommend you see Phil Manfield's book on the use of EMDR with personality disorders.
