In my experience cure is impossible because the patients do not believe they are in the wrong. It is everyone else causing their problems and who are out to get them. They can not, will not see that they need help. Good luck with that one. IMHO it is one of the most difficult. [/quote] Could be that the diagnosis is a catch-all for symptoms not described in all the other fictional categories. Label it, bill it. [/quote] You've never met a borderline. [/quote] Not true. Sorry, Truly scientific approaches in psychiatry only began to emerge after empirical experience with psychopharmacology in the 1950s. Then came neurochemical transmitters to the fore and related hypotheses were finally formulated. Psychology itself, after the ‘dead end’ of a prolonged love affair with behaviourism, latched onto cognitive science—which yet has to really deal with and explain emotions. The fact is, we are all unique, experiencing life individually, learning from and responding to the results of our choices and from interactions with others. There is nothing about psychiatry or psychology that is based in scientific fact. Its a scam. [/quote] You've met a borderline? The history of psychopharmacology isn't relevant here, especially because therapy is seen as more successful treatment than medications, and borderline personality is an observable behavioral pattern with plenty of videos, case studies, interviews etc. out there to show experientially, not faked numbers or whatever. I believe we're all unique but we obviously share commonalities and a cluster of maladaptive ones = disorder. Further, borderline behavior is a natural response if they were raised in an abusive, chaotic or neglectful childhood environment. It sounds more like you have a personal vendetta against behavioral studies. If that's the case your perception is too distorted and I'd rather end the debate now lol. [/quote] BPD therapy is admittedly ineffective. Why? Because it is a catchall designation for "patients" who don't neatly fit into other established (not factual) diagnoses. BPD is also treated with drugs along with therapy. Therapists themselves admit to the difficulty in convincing someone diagnosed with the "illness" that they are suffering from something that the therapist him/herself can't explain, understand or treat. But they will anyway, because billing is where the focus is, not cures. My perception is as relevant and well rounded as anyone else's no matter how upsetting it may be to you. [/quote] Not upsetting in the least, hence the lol :) Projecting much? "BPD therapy is admittedly ineffective" For one there's no such thing as "BPD therapy" in itself, there are different methods. You're just making blanket statements. Would love to see some data to go with those. Long-term DBT has been successful for BPD but it always comes to down to free will. (www.dbtselfhelp.com has plenty of info ) No, professionals don't have all the answers they do the best they can. Not every practitioner is a syringe-wielding psychopath wanting to medicate people when they don't need it. Plenty of people out there work to understand behavioral patterns and how to help. Billing is always where the focus is and that's the way the world is right now. There are however grassroots and grant NPO's that work very hard on these things with pure intention. And plenty of places where you don't need a penny in your pocket to get help. Borderline is trauma-based too keep that in mind, I don't think anyone made up the fact that repeated child abuse = future challenges just so they could bill people. Curious what exposure/experience has rounded your perception? [/quote]
