    Exploring clinicians' experiences of working with people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder
    (2010) Steingold, Lauren; Swartz, Sally
    This study uses an explorative, qualitative design to sketch an understanding of clinicians’ experiences of working with BPD, including their instrumental knowledge of the disorder, their personal experiences of working with people diagnosed with BPD and the impact of the apparent stigmatisation of BPD on the participants’ conceptualisation of the disorder and on the therapeutic relationship with a BPD patient. Nine clinicians, who have had direct experience of working with BPD patients were interviewed using semi-structured interviews.
