These are very common questions posed to the staff and senior members of bpdfamily.com , the large and active forum for those with a bpd loved one.
We all admit that the path of recovery from borderline personality disorder is long and hard. Many with bpd may not recover. We've had reports of loved ones who have been in treatment for a long time but still have problems with difficult behaviors.
But the good news is that recovery from bpd is becoming more prevalent! BPD is no longer seen as an untreatable disorder by therapists who are in the forefront of working with those with bpd.
Dialectical behavioral therapy (developed by Marsha Linehan) remains the most well-known and successful treatment for those with bpd, but Schema Therapy, Transference-Focus psychotherapy, and mentalization therapy are also getting attention as successful approaches.
As to what it means for someone with bpd to be "recovered" or "recovering", please join us at the Workshop discussions on this important topic at BPDFamily.com - Workshop on Treatment, Cures, and Recovery .
