Sinopsis
Sometimes we watch a news show that features a daily commentary called “Worst Person in the World.” During this segment, the reporter chooses a few people who’ve said or done something that he thinks deserves his haughty contempt. Not so long ago, many mental health professionals may have labeled people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) as “Worst Patients in the World.”
Until recently, no one knew which treatments really help people with BPD. Furthermore, people with BPD are incredibly scary to treat because they tend to have a lot of rage directed at themselves, the people they care about, the world, and even their doctors and therapists. Borderline rage can occur anywhere and anytime. Mental health professionals want to protect and help their clients, but people with BPD are hard to keep safe and frequently block therapists’ best efforts. In fact, about 75 percent of people who have BPD hurt themselves in some way, and one out of ten succeeds in suicide. On the other hand, if you’re lucky enough to treat, know, or care about someone with BPD, you may want to consider that person one of the “Best People in the World.” People with BPD can be highly intelligent, enthusiastic, and kind. Some therapists find that persistent effort over time results in a surprisingly gratifying metamorphosis in their patients with BPD.
