/aftersale.htm Dr. Marsha Linehans book Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder is based on her belief in the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for one of the more pervasive and
difficult personality disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD). Dr. Linehan argues that for the therapists and clinicians, individuals with BPD represent some of the most difficult cases to solve and
that many different approaches have been employed in the therapeutic relationship in order to improve the psychosocial perspectives of borderline personalities. The application of CBT or cognitive behavioral strategies
provides a basis for addressing both immediate concerns related to BPD, and the long-term functioning of these individuals. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a personality disorder in which patients
demonstrate a variety of impulsive behaviors, including many of which are self-destructive. Individuals with BPD are often emotionally unstable and demonstrate substantive mood swings, especially in correlation with stressful
events. One of the other indicators of BPD is brief episodic psychosis, which can also be accompanied by repeated attempts at suicide, and it is not uncommon for psychiatrists
to have their first interactions with a person with BPD as a result of emergency room visits following suicidal attempts. The theoretical basis and etiology of the disorder is relatively
unknown, but it has been recognized that both biological factors and factors influencing psychosocial development may play a significant role in determining the prevalence of the disorder in certain populations.
Etiological factors also include childhood trauma (including childhood sexual abuse and physical abuse), parental dissociation, drug and alcohol abuse, and the presence of other forms of trauma.
