[Patient having personality disturbance with substance abuse in psychotherapy].
Due to their destructive nature, substance abuse problems are challenging, their recognition, approach and treatment having all been problematic issues. Because of shame, confessing the problem is difficult also for the patients. Any approach based on confrontation has a negative effect on both commitment to treatment and treatment results. Through one of my patients I describe methods in the treatment of an addition psychiatry patient.
