Abstract:
Most community mental health centers have not established a treatment approach for seriously ill persons with borderline personality disorder that is multi-focused, coordinated, comprehensive, and continuous. The authors propose that the systems approach to caring for persons with schizophrenia (Stein, Diamond, & Factor, 1990) be modified and tested for its efficacy in helping seriously ill persons with borderline personality disorder. The rationale for proposing this model of care and its underlying principles and clinical components is described in this paper.
