One of NEA-BPD’s
major goals is to publish educational materials on BPD, and to do so in
a manner that people who are not familiar with the disorder can
understand,
while those who are dealing with the disorder – personally, as a family
member, or as a treatment provider– have material that they can use to help
others
understand the impact of the disorder on people’s lives.
Our aim then
is the dissemination of information in a highly readable way. We find
that
people often wish to obtain some written material to share and explain
aspects of the disorder. These NOTES from Professionals section column will address the issues
people
have raised in their contact with NEA-BPD or in the Question and Answer
sessions at the NEA-BPD annual Family Perspectives
conferences.
We are most appreciative to the professionals whose
contributions help to open this
avenue of communication with our readers.
