    Abstract

    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.
