This book provides an overview of the theories, assessments, and management of dissociation in borderline personality disorder (BPD), highlighting associations with complex trauma and possible neurobiological underpinnings. Exploring both symptoms of dissociation and empirical evidence on psychophysiological and neurobiological correlates, it discusses the interplay of dissociation, borderline personality disorder (BPD) traits, and complex trauma such as childhood abuse and neglect. Readers will also discover discussions on the challenges of differential diagnosis and the implications of dissociation for treatment, with particular attention given to the impact of dissociation on trauma-focused therapies. 
A timely scholarly synthesis, this book is a valuable resource for academics in clinical psychology, psychiatry, psychological trauma, complex trauma, and personality disorders as well as practitioners alike.
