My p-doc thinks the hall mark of borderline personality disorder is the inability to regulate emotions. This is why DBT is so helpful -- the focus is on distres tolerance and emotional regulation. I also recommend Glen Gabbard's Psychodynamic Therapy in Clinical Practice. There's a long chapter on treating BPD and Gabbard specialized in this. The book is a text for psychiatry students but it's very accessible.
