Confronting Myths and Stereotypes About Borderline Personality Disorder

SUMMARY

The clinician treating a patient with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is often faced with complicated challenges, from making and communicating an accurate diagnosis, to implementing an appropriate, informed plan for treatment. Myths and stereotypes about BPD, and the individuals who may carry the diagnosis, likely complicate effective recognition and treatment of the disorder. BPD has been a controversial diagnosis among clinicians since its inception, and it is poorly understood among the general public. Pressures to avoid an explicit exploration of the diagnosis stemming from myths and stereotypes about the disorder can come from a number of sources, including other clinicians, family members and patients themselves. The results of minimizing or ignoring the contribution of borderline pathology may be detrimental. Clinical decisions based on outmoded thinking about diagnosis, prognosis, treatment efficacy, and availability of resources may deny patients optimal care. Integrating current findings into consideration of a BPD diagnosis and design of appropriate treatment, free of misconceptions about the condition, may help limit the untoward effects associated with failure to appreciate elements of borderline personality.
