borderline personality disorder

The person who will help you most in your quest for a better life is your primary clinician. The responsibilities of the primary clinician in the treatment of borderline disorder are¹:

to educate you about the nature and causes of borderline disorder
to assure that all appropriate evaluations are performed in order to determine your specific treatment needs
to develop with you a comprehensive treatment plan that best meets these needs
to assure that the plan is implemented
to routinely determine your safety and progress in treatment
to implement changes in the treatment plan when indicated, and
to assure effective communication among other therapists and family involved in your treatment.

Most often, the primary clinician is a psychiatrist, well trained and experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of borderline disorder.
