Summary
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex and serious mental health condition that is characterized by difficulty regulating emotions, chaotic relationships, and repeated episodes of self-harm or suicidal behavior. It is estimated that 1.6% of the population in the United Kingdom has BPD, making it one of the most common personality disorders. Treatment and management of BPD is complex, and it is important for clinicians to be aware of the available treatments and the evidence for their effectiveness. Psychotherapy is the primary treatment for BPD and has been found to be effective in both short-term and long-term treatment. Cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy, mentalization-based therapy, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy are all evidence-based approaches that have been found to be effective in treating BPD. Medication can also be used as an adjunct to psychotherapy to treat the symptoms of BPD and to reduce the risk of self-harm or suicide. It is essential that treatment for BPD is individualized and multimodal, taking into account the patient’s unique needs, preferences, and context. As such, a range of evidence-based treatments need to be considered when managing and treating BPD, with psychotherapy as the cornerstone of treatment.

Far more important, however, than arriving at a diagnostic label is the achievement of a comprehensive psychodynamic and psychoeconomic appraisal of the balance in each patient between the ego's defensive and adaptive measures on the one hand, and the pathogenic instinctual and ego-disintegrating forces on the other, so that therapy can be planned and conducted for the purpose of conserving, strengthening, and improving the defensive and adaptive functions of the ego.

Abstract The authors use a new diagnostic algorithm derived from the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (the DIS/Borderline Index) to identify a borderline personality disorder among 19- to 55-year-olds at the Duke site of the Epidemiologic Catchment Area project. A criterion score of 11 or more symptoms from the 24-item DIS/Borderline Index identifies 1.8% of the sample.
