Integrative cognitive behavioral therapy helps the affected people to alleviate this severe pain so that they can participate in life again.

“Persönlichkeit und Bindung in der therapeutischen Beziehung: Eva Neumann und Rainer Sachse im Gespräch mit Uwe Britten” von Rainer Sachse und Eva Neumann
The authors discuss the interplay of the personality structures of client and therapist as well as the question of what kind of bond the therapist-client relationship represents. In any case, successful therapy with people with impaired personality depends on the therapist knowing his own personality structure and his own attachment behavior well. Every person has a personality structure and every person has learned a certain way of establishing bonds with others and being bound to other people in general. Often people come to psychotherapy who show a conspicuous pattern of personality as well as insecure attachment patterns.
