Written by practitioners for practitioners, it provides a framework for developing effective care plans with minimal use of technical terms and jargon. Rather than promote an approach based on a single theoretical model, consideration is given to ways in which different approaches can be effectively combined within a multi-disciplinary team. The book is divided into two sections. The first outlines recent government initiatives relating to personality disorder and introduces key theories underlying psychological and biological treatments. The second focuses specifically on the role of the CMHT in relation to patients with these difficulties, including:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe assessment of personality functioning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edeveloping coherent plans for treatment and support\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eoptimising the therapeutic relationship\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emanaging self-harming behaviour\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eparticular challenges faced by CMHTs, and how to overcome them\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe views of service users\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einvolving family, friends and carers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePersonality Disorder and Community Mental Health Teams\u003c\/i\u003e deals with the reality of services today.
