This article presents a case study illustration of integrated, concurrent dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and prolonged exposure (PE), conducted within a Veterans Affairs health care system. Treatment in this case effectively reduced symptoms and improved overall quality of life. Based on clinical complexities encountered (e.g., substance use, nonsuicidal self-harm, treatment setting constraints), recommendations are provided for concurrent treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder and borderline personality disorder in veterans. Recommendations include consideration of flexibility in duration of pre-PE stabilization, modification of DBT phone coaching protocol, management of structural barriers to treatment access, full use of consultation, and coordination of clinician roles.

Trauma Informed

Objective: To consider the use of the diagnostic category ‘complex posttraumatic stress disorder’ (c-PTSD) as detailed in the forthcoming ICD-11 classification system as a less stigmatising, more clinically useful term, instead of the current DSM-5 defined condition of ‘borderline personality disorder’ (BPD). Conclusions: Trauma, in its broadest definition, plays a key role in the development of both c-PTSD and BPD. Given this current lack of differentiation between these conditions, and the high stigma faced by people with BPD, it seems reasonable to consider using the diagnostic term ‘complex posttraumatic stress disorder’ to decrease stigma and provide a trauma-informed approach for BPD patients.
