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.
