Psychotherapy of borderline personality disorder (BPD) has often focused on specialized and putatively more effective treatments such as dialectical behavioral therapy. In recent years, accumulating evidence suggests that many BPD patients benefit equally well from well-structured but less specialized care designed to meet their needs. Supportive psychotherapy (SPT) and various forms of clinical management, such as structured clinical management (SCM) and general psychiatric management (GPM), have been successfully adapted for treatment of BPD. This chapter describes the theoretical backgrounds for these approaches, main treatment techniques, and how they can be implemented to provide good outcomes for individuals diagnosed with BPD.

ABSTRACTThere is little literature on older adults with borderline personality disorder during neuropsychological assessment. Here we report on a 59-year-old woman with borderline personality disorder who referred herself for assessment because she feared the onset of dementia. Results showed an above average level of intelligence, with scores on memory tests that ranged from well below to well above average in a pattern that was not consistent with a dementia or with common forms of neurologically based memory impairments. A test of memory malingering was within normal limits. Results are discussed in terms of somatization within this personality disorder.
