Effective management of patients with borderline personality disorder in a busy acute inpatient ward using dialectical behaviour therapy principles

CONCLUSIONS: The inpatient environment is often a place where invalidating experiences can occur. These include feeling ignored, misunderstood and where private experiences are trivialised or denied. Patients with BPD are extremely sensitive to these experiences and are likely to decompensate if strategies are not in place to facilitate a more validating experience during admission. The proposed guidelines are feasible to implement and support a cohesive treatment team and collaborative patient-centred care which is likely to improve patient outcomes.PMID:37965756 | DOI:10.1177/10398562231209822
