He, along with Linehan, really influenced my thought on BPD.
I'm bringing along a videotape of Marsha Linehan's to show an excerpt on the criterion and etiology of borderline personality disorder, as she perceives them. Because my therapist laughingly said that I sounded like I knew more than he did on the subject, but it sounded like he was saying that I was full of bull. (Which may be my hearing, not his speaking). But I thought I'd bring in the words of one of the foremost authorities of borderline personality disorder to back me up.
Has anyone seen the latest long term studies on borderline personality disorder? I'd love to get my hands on a summary of Stone's rather optimistic summary. And while I don't wish to be squelching, haven't I read that while the outcome studies on DBT show significant improvement in many areas, there are some areas that don't? Maybe that's where the medications come in. You can do a lot in therapy, but sometimes a medication is necessary for the biological components of any disorder.
