Please don't let it upset you, Alexandra. More and more, clinicians are starting to lose the judgmental attitude that used to exist. And more and more are starting to consider it less a personality disorder than an affective disorder. Which makes perfect sense under Linehan's model. (Although frankly, I think all "personality disorders" should be reclassified to the underlying cause.)
I think we mental health advocates are winning on this one front. But it takes time for knowledge to seep in. Remember the old theories of autism?
