Love Admiration Or Safety: A System of Gestalt Diagnosis of Borderline Narcissistic and Schizoid Adaptations that Focuses on What Is Figure for the Client

Greenberg proposes a system of Gestalt diagnosis of Borderline, Narcissistic and Schizoid adaptations that focuses on what repeatedly becomes figure for the client during interactions with others. She reconceptualizes Borderline, Narcissistic and Schizoid personality disorders as relatively inflexible organizations of the organism/environment field that are made and remade at each moment at the contact boundary through figure/ground formation.
