Abstract

Interest in and concern about borderline personality disorder (BPD) have escalated rapidly since the introduction of the disorder into the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the (APA). A quick perusal of psychological and psychiatric journals reveals the plethora of articles on this topic. At present, it is the most widely researched personality disorder. A recent literature review of journal articles on personality disorders has shown that over 40% were devoted exclusively to research on BPD (Widiger & Frances, 1989). The popularity of BPD has spurred numerous articles, book chapters, and books on the diagnosis, behavioral patterns, epidemiology, and etiology of this disorder. Unfortunately, research on treatment theory and outcome for BPD has been sparse and generally not subject to stringent empirical examination. The lack of quality treatment research on BPD can be attributed to a myriad of factors, including poorly defined constructs for the etiology and diagnosis of BPD, the difficult nature of treating borderline patients, and the numerous shortcomings that obfuscate clinical research. Consequently, much of what we know today about treatment of borderlines is based on particular theoretical guidelines, unsystematic observation, retrospective studies, and clinical lore. This chapter will attempt to consolidate much of the research literature on treatment theory and outcome for borderline personality disorder.
