ABSTRACT
This chapter is the author’s response to working with women on a Tier 4 secure ward for women diagnosed with BPD and co-morbid conditions. Recurring themes are highlighted and six styles of intervention described, supported by session vignettes and samples of creative work. A detailed case study of a client’s one-to-one dramatherapy journey follows, explored in relation to schema therapy (Kellogg and Young, 2006), Rowan’s subpersonality work (1990) and several Jungian concepts: integrating internal aspects, the shadow and personal individuation (Jung, 1968). Finally, feedback from colleagues and clients is shared.
