It is simply not possible to overstate the importance of In the Fullness of Time: Recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder. That's right recovery. Zanarini outlines research over decades that not only challenges but also debunks this view. Is treatment for BPD difficult? Yes. Will therapists still find such cases to be some of the most difficult and challenging they might experience? Yes. With carefully crafted case histories, however, Zanarini reveals how effective treatment and engagement with BPD patients can most effectively occur and how recovery is possible. She defines recovery as concurrent symptomatic remission and good social and good full-time vocational functioning . A highly recommended work for practitioners, researchers, and anyone dealing with a family member who has borderline personality disorder. --Choice
