Hi there,
Sorry to hear about access difficulty with my site -- dunno what's up with that -- let me know how/where you are trying to access it. The address is:
http://home.hvc.rr.com/helenbpdIt may not be very well-formatted in browsers under Netscape6 or IE5; I suggest trying it in one of those.
If as I understand from trouble's post, you are doing some kind of review of BPD for a paper, my site has tons of links to virtually every other larger BPD site on the web. Actually, that's the thing: my site is really more of an index to what's out there than a site with some kind of message to preach or medication to shill.
There are a few sites that are more explicit about their take -- Patty Pheil's MentalHealthSanctuary takes the stand that it is fundamentally a chemical disorder; Leland Heller's biologicalunhappiness site promotes exclusive treatment with prozac + tegretol; Kathi Stringer's ToddlerTime site is sympathetic to the dissociative interpretation, Deb Martinson's Secret Shame site battles the misconception that "all" Borderlines self-injure, etc etc.Definitely read all you can and come to your own conclusions -- it's a misunderstood/stigmatized/over- or under-used diagnosis, depending on one's viewpoint. I just throw a ton of research out there for folks to make up their own minds. :)
Take care,
Helen
