Treatments of Borderline Personality Disorder by Matt

This disorder has to be treated for a long time since the symptoms have been around for years and have interfered with several aspects of the patient’s life. Insight oriented therapy can be a useful treatment but current research is showing increased support for an approach that is cognitive-behavioral. The thoughts and actions of the individual have to be monitored by the patient and therapist and then counted. The main idea behind this is to plan a way to reduce the negative thoughts and behaviors that are seen as negative slowly over time. It’s thought that a combined approach with both these treatments may work out for the best, but no matter which way that the patient goes for treatment is still requires a great deal of time and effort.
