If behaviour in a Loved-One raises questions that
point to BPD, but that Loved One refuses to contemplate
help/counselling, how might a direction be charted for
that person? She is 58 years old: trouble establishing
AND keeping relationships, “tantrums” in blow-up events,
“walking on eggshells” for others who love her…
I long to get or find help for her. She is my younger
sister. Thank you very much

I have been a Licensed Social Worker for over 30h and neared completion of my Ph.D from the LA Psychoanalytic Institute. I have read, attended conferences and treated BordePD since 1980. I have read and attended conferences from Kernberg, Masterson, Kohut to name a few but the most interesting of late has been by John Briere Ph.d who attempts to refocus the diagnosis and treatment from Borderline to Complex Trauma PTSD. His premise is that childhood abuse develops into a Chronic PTSD. Utilizing the new brain research he has developed treatment approaches to “rewire” the brain. I propose that even the change in the name of the diagnosis gives hope to what was once considered an untreatable personality disorder.
