Improving mental health among inmates has been a long-term challenge for correctional systems. Although borderline personality disorder (BPD) has garnered limited attention in the literature, evidence suggests it is highly prevalent in corrections. It is important to provide comprehensive treatment for this condition, given its high prevalence and significant personal, societal, and economic burden. This article discusses two approaches aimed at enhancing mental health treatment for BPD in corrections. The first focuses on implementing evidence-based psychotherapy that is customized to the correctional setting. The other approach is expanding telemental health to overcome clinician shortages and maintain high-quality care.
改善囚犯的心理健康一直是监狱系统面临的长期挑战。虽然边缘型人格障碍（BPD）在文献中受到的关注有限，但有证据表明它在监狱中非常普遍。鉴于其高患病率以及对个人、社会和经济造成的巨大负担，为这种疾病提供全面的治疗非常重要。本文讨论了两种旨在加强监狱中 BPD 心理健康治疗的方法。第一种方法侧重于实施针对监狱环境定制的循证心理治疗。另一种方法是扩大远程心理健康服务，以克服临床医生短缺问题并保持高质量的护理。
