An Introduction
to Borderline
Personality Disorder
Diagnosis, Origins, Course, and Treatment
This 20-page pamphlet
offers an introductory overview of
borderline personality
disorder, explaining the DSM criteria, origins,
course, self-harm
behavior, and current status of treatment.
This edition is a
revision of the 2001 version of the A BPD Brief.
It is the hope of the
author and committees that worked on the revision
that the pamphlet will
be of service to those seeking basic information
and treatment providers who need
to explain the diagnosis to clients and families.
