    Paul,

    My working diagnosis was not borderline personality disorder but rather "borderline spectrum" which describes a patient's reality testing, object relations, defense mechanisms, and identity formation. DSM IV is not particularly helpful way to think about these patients when it comes to treatment issues. I had suggested Marsha Linehann's book for Borderlines because it has very helpful skills development and self education modules for patients who want to feel better and are having trouble. Regards

    Rob
