Discuss evidence-based therapy for BPD. How does therapy interrupt the patterns of NSSI and suicidality?

There are many evidence-based effective therapies available for BPD, most common being Dialectical behavioral therapy (weekly individual and weekly group). It is effective therapy and easily accessible. It is available as individual therapy, group therapy, phone consultation and consultation team. Its main goal is to increase interpersonal skills and decrease self-harming behavior. DBT teaches mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Mentalization is another type of therapy for BPD. This therapy helps patient be aware of one’s own mental state and of others. “MBT is based on a theory that borderline personality symptoms, such as difficulty regulating emotions and managing impulsivity, are a result of patients’ reduced capacities to mentalize” (Boland et al., 2022). Transference-focused psychotherapy diminishes the need for splitting, improves object relation, and functioning in BPD. Dynamic deconstructive psychotherapy (DDP) is the newer psychotherapy treatment for BPD and is significantly effective treatment. The quasirandomized observational study shows DDP is highly effective in the treatment of BPD, depression and suicide related behaviors in comparison to DBT and other treatment (Majdara et al., 2021)
