Tóm tắt

A number of leading practice models have been found to be effective in the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). These include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Transference Focused Psychotherapy and Mentalization Based Treatment. This article reviews the current evidence for these dominant practice models, and concludes that no single treatment has been found to be consistently superior in the treatment of BPD. Given the lack of evidence priviledging one single model of treatment, and the fact that it is not always feasible or desirable for social workers to practice using pure manualized treatment models, there is a need to develop more integrative approaches to treatment with this vulnerable population. By highlighting specific similarities and differences between practice techniques, this paper attempts to pave the way toward developing a more integrative treatment approach to working with individuals with BPD, an approach where interventions are selected based on appraisal of the evidence, clinical expertise, and client need.
