An exploration of values among consumers seeking treatment for borderline personality disorder

ConclusionsThe findings suggest that people with BPD identify with values and prioritise different life domains in terms of importance. Our results show discrepancies between higher importance and lower commitment,  desire to improve and success at living in line with what is valued. Identification of such discrepancies provides opportunities to more effectively support consumers with BPD to prioritise goals that are consistent with valued domains. These findings offer new insights for cultivating the persona l meaning consumers are currently seeking in BPD treatments.
