Borderline personality disorder is a very important area where there is not only a lot of distress but also a loss of quality of life and shortening of life.
In this episode of Psych Matters, Dr Nick Bendit joins experienced clinicians Associate Professor Sathya Rao and Associate Professor Josephine Beatson to discuss the nuts and bolts of working with the patient with BPD and to try to explode some of the myths.
