Making psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder accessible.

BACKGROUND

Psychotherapies specifically designed for borderline personality disorder (BPD) are the most effective form of treatment for this population, but these modalities are not easily accessible.

METHOD

Narrative review.

RESULTS

Although research shows that such therapies are effective, the best-known methods are lengthy, expensive, and difficult for patients to access.

CONCLUSIONS

This review recommends that interventions for patients with BPD should be briefer, less costly, and more accessible.
