✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The authors address psychodynamic therapies, particularly transference‐focused psychotherapy (TFP), in the treatment of patients who present with non‐suicidal self‐injury. In doing so, they briefly discuss various psychodynamic approaches with empirical evidence for their effectiveness. They describe TFP, including its treatment rationale, putative change mechanisms, and outcome research. They then present a case illustration of a patient with borderline personality disorder who engages in non‐suicidal self‐injury to demonstrate how TFP can be applied to such cases. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
