- Manage the problem of recurrent suicidality and self-harm while limiting personal burden and liability.
- Expedite alliance-building via use of medications and homework.
- Identify when to prioritize BPD's treatment and when to defer until a comorbid disorder is resolved.
Programme Structure

- Management strategies using practicality, good sense, and flexibility
- Listening, validation, judicious self-disclosures and advisement
- Techniques and interventions that facilitate the patient’s trust and willingness to become a proactive collaborator
- Guidelines for managing the common and usually most burdensome issues of managing suicidality and self-harm (e.g. intersession crises, threats as a call-for-help, excessive use of ER’s or hospitals)
