Department of Psychiatry, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec. joel.paris@mcgill.ca
OBJECTIVE: To examine recent research on the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD). METHOD: A narrative review of all recent controlled trials of therapy for patients with BPD. RESULTS: Various psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological methods can be used to reduce impulsivity and dysphoric mood in this disorder. CONCLUSION: There is strong support for well-structured forms of psychotherapy, but evidence for pharmacotherapy in BPD is mixed. Treatment can usually be carried out in an outpatient setting.
