However, there is a paucity of research into the management and care of these patients on a long‐term basis in the community by CPNs (Clarkin et al. 1991, Nehls 1991, 1992, 1994, Sansone & Sansone 1991, Searight 1992, Chessick 1993, Dallam 1997, Profis 1997).…”

A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual study using an 'interpretive descriptive approach' was undertaken in order to develop a practice-level model for the facilitation of mental health of patients diagnosed as having Borderline Personality Disorder by the community psychiatric nurse. The context of the study was the in the Psychiatric Community Services in the greater Johannesburg region, South Africa. Individual and focus group interviews were conducted with patients and mental health clinicians representing the multidisciplinary team with experience in managing the condition, either in a personal capacity or as professional mental health practitioners. Themes extrapolated from the transcribed interviews were further explored and a practice-based theory was constructed. This article reports on the first theme 'Trust', the concept identified by both patients and clinicians as crucial for the establishment and maintenance of the therapeutic relationship that forms the vehicle for care of patients with this disorder in psychiatric mental health care.

“…Much of the research on brief treatments for individuals with BP has been group based, although there appears to be new interest in brief individual applications, based in part on the need for costeffective treatments (see, e.g., Ryle and Golinka, 2003;Evans et al, 1999). Clarkin, Marziali, and Monroe-Blum (1991) noted that long-term family treatments for BP have garnered limited research attention, despite the importance of etiological and maintaining family factors in theoretical formulations of BP. Some long-term (Linehan, 1993) and brief (Karterud & Urnes, 2004;Ross, Dermatis, Levounis, & Galanter, 2003) treatments have integrated group and individual methods.…”

Borderline personality (BP) is prevalent in clinical populations and notoriously difficult to treat. Reasons for this difficulty include complexity of presentation, overall severity of functioning, premature discontinuation and difficulty establishing a therapeutic alliance. Brief treatments for BP are considered, and specific therapeutic goals with potential amenability to brief approaches are discussed, with a focus on the integrative combination of various modalities. It is noted that brief treatments have the potential to ameliorate problems related to premature discontinuation, supplement and enhance long-term treatments and increase the cost-effectiveness of treatment. Suggestions for empirical research on brief strategies for treating BP are enumerated.

“…The family atmosphere is regarded as hostile and over-involved (Goldberg et al, 1985). When faced with adolescent development, which is perceived as a threat to the status quo, the family becomes defensive and regressive (Clarkin et al, 1991).…”

The family therapy of twenty-four cases of adolescents diagnosed as having borderline personality disorder is described. In comparison to matched psychiatric controls, the families of these adolescents were more angry and irritable and had higher rates of sexual abuse and sibling psychopathology. Relationship difficulties, in particular oscillating attachments, were frequently seen in therapy, which was more tumultuous with frequent impulsive acts of self-harm.
