The goal of the proposed session is to provide an update to clinicians on research related to the prevalence, diagnosis, recognition, course, and treatment of borderline personality disorder and to use case examples to illustrate principles of treatment and management. The discussion will include a review of research on the frequency of underdiagnosis of borderline personality disorder in clinical settings, clinically useful approaches to improve detection, benefits and risks of screening, and longitudinal course and empirically supported treatment approaches.
