Clinical experience suggests that many people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are not told of their borderline diagnosis by those treating them. Clinical experience also suggests that many people with newly diagnosed BPD are not provided with up-to-date information on the disorder. These practices are unfortunate as the results of a preliminary, randomized, controlled trial of psychoeducation for BPD conducted by the investigators suggest that informing patients about BPD soon after diagnostic disclosure may be an effective form of early treatment for BPD as it significantly reduced the severity of two of the core symptoms of borderline psychopathology—general impulsivity and unstable relationships.
