Introduction
Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder carry a stigma that makes it harder for them and their clinicians to really work together to make a difference in their condition. The reason for this has to do with how we understand our clients with Borderline Personality Disorder. But, more importantly, it has to do with how we understand what it means to be a human being. To help our clients end suffering, we are to know who our clients are, and starting with this challenging client population is one of the best ways for us to do just that.
Please join us to understand the DSM Criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder and, more importantly, the individual who carries the diagnosis.
