I've always thought that BPD had biological underpinnings, although perhaps not the same biological problems in all cases. And I am firmly in favor of combining medication and therapy. I just think that the "personality disorders" axis of the DSM-IV could use some work, since many of "personality disorders" are probably manifestations of Axis I or neurological conditions and are not in themselves of any additional value in medication decisions, except as a factor in diagnosis of the underlying condition. However, I do thing the "personality disorders" Axis II conditions are useful in structuring therapy.
I'm probably getting wrapped up in semantics here. Sorry, it's a bad habit of mine.
