title: [Treatment of borderline personality disorder].
abstract: Patients with borderline personality disorder entail a considerable strain on mental health services. Previously, the prognosis for these patients was regarded pessimistically, but this perspective has been radically altered during the latest ten years because of the development of structured and evidence-based treatment programs. In this article a short introduction to Mentalisation-Based Treatment of BPD is given.
