I think I mentioned James Framo's object relations based transgenerational family therapy approach. Unlike typical object relations psychoanalysts, Framo rightfully believed the whole family needs to be involved in the therapy. Many psychoanalysts would dismiss family members as merely "collateral" and primarily used for data collection. I prefer Herman and van der Kolk's less stigmatizing term "Complex PTSD" to borderline personality disorder (BPD), although there is evidence from Scandinavian studies that BPD has a robust genetic predisposition. My contention is that people with both BPD and C-PTSD (if they are indeed distinct) require compassionate, empathetically attuned treatment. There are successful therapy outcomes using approaches that don't label people with either BPD or C-PTSD.
