“Negative Therapeutic Reactions”
a) Unconscious guilt
b) Unconscious envy – need to destroy
therapists offerings
c) Unconscious identification with a
sadistic object
Kernberg, OF 1977
Sources of Stigma
• BPDs self concept: “bad”, “evil”, “damaged”, “small child” (Zanarini et al. 2001)
• Reaction to anger, neediness (countertransference)
• The perception of willful treatment resistance (“help rejecting complainers”)
• Cross-sectional exposure (“frequent flyers”)
• Misinformation about heritability and prognosis
• Unrealistic expectations of competence
Consequences of Stigma
• avoidance and misinformation by professionals
“Despite its prevalence, enormous public health costs, and the devastating toll it takes on individuals, families, and communities, [borderline personality disorder] only recently has begun to command the attention it requires”.
House Resolution 1005, April 1, 2008
Consequences of Stigma
• an “unwanted diagnosis” by patients confirming their worst fears about themselves
• avoidance and misinformation by professionals
• under-utilization of the diagnosis (~ 2-6% in one OPC)
• failure to provide adequate didactic training or capable clinical supervision
• lack of parity; fair reimbursement
“I dread being diagnosed as borderline. It conveys that I’m malicious and manipulative.”

Psychoeducation for BPD
- 30 with workshop about BPD vs. 20 wait listed- PE decreases impulsivity and unstable relations over next 12 weeks- “a useful and cost efficient form of pre-treatment”
Zanarini & Frankenburg, JPD 2008
Minimal BPD Didactic Training Objectives(? 6 Hours)
i) Knowledge of the DSM diagnostic criteria and their meaningii) Awareness of its prognosis and heritabilityiii) How to assess and manage deliberate self- harm and suicidal threatsiv) The role and liabilities of medicationv) The role and outcomes from BPD-specific therapies
Four Models About the Interface between MDD & BPD And their Implications about Course
BPD is Primary: BPD can cause 2 signs and symptoms of MDD; its improvements will be followed by a decrease in MDD
MDD is Primary: MDD can cause 2 BPD Phenomenology; its improvements will be followed by a decrease in BPD
BPD & MDD are Unrelated: Changes in the course in either disorder will not effect the other
Overlapping Etiology: Changes in either disorder will effect the course of the other disorder; but will do so weakly or inconsistently

BPD & Bipolar Disorder Diagnoses∙ Bipolar disorder is frequently overutilized (only 57% were confirmed with SCID)∙ 26% of false + Bipolar patients have BPD∙ 40% of BPD patients had false + Bipolar dx∙ Overuse of Bipolar dx is 2° to expected response to meds and the extensive marketing of mood stabilizers∙ Underuse of BPD is 2° to it’s lack of a medication–based therapy and its need for psychosocial treatment
Zimmerman et al. J Clin Psychiatry Jan 2010
Overview
• Treatment of BPD is not done
consistently or well
• Most clinicians don’t like treating
BPD patients
• There is a shortage of well-trained
BPD treaters
TRENDS IN TREATMENT OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
• From Psychoanalytic Primacy to Multiple Modalities
(notably psychoeducation, cognitive/behavioral and psychopharmacological)
TRENDS IN TREATMENT OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
• From Possible Improvement to Probable Remission
• From Psychoanalytic Primacy to Multiple Modalities
(notably psychoeducation, cognitive/behavioral and psychopharmacological)
• From Clinical Expertise to Evidence-based
• From Generic to Disorder-specific
THE FRAMEWORK FOR EXPECTABLE CHANGES
Areas of Relevant ExpectableDisturbance Interventions Time for ChangeSubjective state • Concerned attention, Hrs./Weeks Dysphoric feelings validation
• Reality testing • Problem solving
• MedicationBehavior • Clarification (esp. in-Rx months
examples) of defense purpose and maladapttive consequences
Interpersonal Style • Confrontation 6-18 months• Pattern recognition• Here-and-now interactional analysis
Intrapsychic • Defense and transference analysis >2 years Organization • Corrective experiences, real
relationships

Effective Manualized BPDTreatments Show:
1. They are better than TAU.
2. BPD patients require specifiably different and
disorder-specific interventions.
3. PSA therapy can be manualized –
standardized and replicated (up to a point)
4. Adherence and competence can be measured and
shown to correlate with effectiveness.
Mentalization: a common theme of all therapies for BPD
• All psychotherapies develop an interactional matrix in which the mind becomes a focus
• Therapists consider the patient by communicating their representations to them
• experience of patient is of another human having their mind in mind Process more important than content
Adapted from Bateman, 2004
Are EBT’s Worth Learning:
1. Will I do better by my next patient as a
result of the training?
2. Is the increment of increased
effectiveness worth the time and expense
of getting trained?
FIVE SHARED CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE THERAPIES (DBT, TFP, MBT,
SFT) FOR BPD
- Structure (goals, roles)- Coherent theory with trained practitioners (self- selected)- Active: support and challenge- Focus on feelings recognition sources (chain analyses) experiencing
- Countertransference: recognition & management
WHY DO THIS WORK?
• Pride in skills (“If you can treat borderline patients, you can treat anyone”)• Personal growth• Having a highly personal, deeply appreciated, life-changing role
