The 'Stably Unstable' Borderline Personality Disorder: History, Theory, and Nursing Intervention
TL;DRAbstract
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complicated condition and poses equally difficult treatment issues for nurses and clients alike. People with borderline personalities have inflexible traits that either impair social and occupational functioning or cause distress. Current research findings reflect that many people diagnosed with BPD have indeed been abused either physically or sexually in early childhood. The prevalence of people with BPD is estimated to be between 0.2% and 1.78%. Psychoanalysis, behavioral therapies, and cognitive therapies have been used in the clinical setting for the treatment of clients with BPD. Group and family therapies also are helpful.
