In "The Marginal Self" (1987), Ren DEGREESD'e J. Muller characterized what he saw as the phenomenon of marginality.

He showed how maginalizing choices made in an attenuated Western culture inevitably lead to pathological living and disillusion.

Borderline personality disorder is a diagnosis often given to those who have serious problems with self-image and mood, as well as with interpersonal relations. This text presents a journal of a 15-month course of therapy with a classic splitting borderline patient, followed by an in-depth analysis of the case from three very different, but ultimately converging, perspectives.

The result is an enlightening critique of the profession—one that pits criticism of psychiatry’s current...

The Four Domains of Mental Illness presents an authentic and valid alternative to the DSM-5, which author René J. Muller argues has resulted in many patients being incorrectly diagnosed and wrongly medicated. Dr. Muller points out where the DSM-5 is mistaken and offers a guide to diagnosis based on the psychobiology of psychiatrist Adolf Meyer and the insights of existential philosophy and psychiatry. His model identifies the phenomena of the mental illnesses that clinicians most often see, which are characterized by identifying their structure, or partial structure. Using the...
