Borderline personality disorder is a prevalent and chronic disorder characterized by significant morbidity and mortality. Limited success with current treatment approaches suggests that new models of treatment are needed. Aspects of the psychiatric rehabilitation model are applied to borderline personality disorder. This model has implications for the diagnosis and management of borderline personality disorder. The diagnosis of borderline personality disorder will be refined by characterizing the disabilities and handicaps that are associated with the disorder. The psychiatric rehabilitation model suggests that services be developed which provide a validating environment, the opportunity to enhance skills and a mechanism to accept input from families.
边缘型人格障碍是一种普遍且慢性的疾病，其特征为显著的发病率和死亡率。当前治疗方法成效有限，这表明需要新的治疗模式。精神康复模式的一些方面被应用于边缘型人格障碍。该模式对边缘型人格障碍的诊断和管理具有启示意义。通过描述与该疾病相关的残疾和障碍，边缘型人格障碍的诊断将得到完善。精神康复模式建议开发一些服务，这些服务应提供一个能给予肯定的环境、提升技能的机会以及接受家庭意见的机制。
