The webinar will offer three different perspectives on how to implement effective strategies to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) on a large scale, within various mental health systems. There are several empirical supported treatments (EST) for BPD. However, none of them has sufficient supply in whatever country, given the high number of treatment -seeking patients with BPD, who represent a substantial proportion of patients attending “general” psychiatric services. Therefore, structuring existing clinical services by providing well-organized, coherent generalist treatments may be more scalable across different health systems and patient populations than delivering specific types of EST.
Lois Choi-Kain will review the need for diverse steps or components of care for individuals with BPD beyond evidence-based psychotherapies that last typically one to two years. Good psychiatric management (GPM) is a flexible pragmatic approach to clinical management of BPD across acute, chronic, and remitted but not recovered states, which will meet the needs of patients who either cannot access or do not respond adequately to the specialist manualized psychotherapies.
Next, Joost Hutsebaut will discuss some basics of the Guideline-Informed Treatment for PDs (GIT-PD), a common factors approach that aims to upgrade ‘treatment as usual’ services by improving adherence to a set of principles at organizational, team and therapist level.
Finally, Chiara De Panfilis will illustrate how general psychiatric care for BPD can be implemented with principles of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) – one of the empirically supported therapies for BPD-, which emphasizes treatment structure and frame. This initiative is part of the “applied” TFP approach, which applies key elements and insights of the TFP model to a variety of treatment settings outside the standard twice a week outpatient TFP.
