Open Door Review

Kernberg, 2006), and improvement in personality organization (Doering, Hörz, Rentrop, Fischer- Kern, Schuster, Benecke, Buchheim, Martius, & Buchheim, 2010). We have isolated predictors of change and rates of change in the treatment of BPD patients (Lenzenweger, Clarkin, Levy, Yeomans, & Kernberg, 2012). Our current work builds on these previous findings. We are in the process of using pre-treatment genetic markers combined with neurocognitive functioning (fMRI) to predict response to TFP over a treatment episode of 18 months. A major goal of the extended treatment is not only symptom reduction, but also significant improvement in work functioning and satisfaction in interpersonal relations. G$#.1/.\! John F.
