What is treatment for BPD, if you don't mind me asking?
I confess to a personal interest as I've sought at times for things like anxiety and depression, and frustratingly enough would not be able to tell you what treatment I was actually receiving under the name of therapy.
- phren0logy 9y agoThe gold standard is DBT for BPD, and treating other co-occuring conditions. It's hard to find somewhere that does by-the-book DBT, and other approaches can also help, but I might recommend starting with an academic center if possible.
- DanBC 9y agoThe document "Meeting the challenge, making a difference" lists several different therapies. People should have a choice of what works for them. http://www.crisiscareconcordat.org.uk/inspiration/meeting-the-challenge-making-a-difference/ http://www.crisiscareconcordat.org.uk/inspiration/meeting-th... That document lists: Dielectical Behavioural Therapy Mentalization Based Therapy Cognitive Analytic Therapy Transference Focussed Psychotherapy Interpersonal Group Psychotherapy Cognitive Therapy for Personality Disorders Schema Therapy and it lists intensive therapeutic programmes, therapeutic communities, and arts therapies. Of these DBT probably has best evidence, and has most people providing it.
