title: Families of borderline patients: a psychoeducational approach.
abstract: The development of the psychoeducational form of treatment described in this article has been prompted by changes in our understanding of borderline psychopathology and changes in the health care system in which these patients are treated. After reviewing these background changes, the authors describe the treatment itself, its form, its purpose, and the preliminary suggestions of its effectiveness.
