Abstract

This present article reviewed the general situation of borderline personality disorder (BPD), including its definition, prevalence, characteristics, reasons that lead to BPD, and its treatments. The research categorized borderline personality disorder as one of the personality disorders, more specifically, cluster B personality disorder. Three possible reasons and effects for BPD are introduced: childhood experiences, psychological effect, and genetic effect. Several treatments are beneficial to treat patients with BPD, including mentalization-based therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, therapeutic communities, and transference-focused psychotherapy. Each of them is different, but not totally different. Interestingly, they share some of the commonplaces even they are not in the same category. In conclusion, the main causation of borderline personality disorder is the childhood experiences and psychological effects. Also, BPD has more popular-used treatments: mentalization-based therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
