Borderline personality disorder (BPD) Compass is a promising complementary intervention to dialectical behavior therapy: Comment on Sauer-Zavala (2022).

Abstract

Comments on the article by S. Sauer-Zavala et al. (see record 2022-23735-001). Since its empirical debut in the early 1990s, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has amassed substantial support for treating individuals struggling with chronic suicidality, emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, and interpersonal distress. Today, it is known to be one of the most effective psychotherapies for complex mental health presentations, such as in borderline personality disorder (BPD). In this comment, the authors highlight strengths and limitations of one promising intervention, BPD Compass, as presented by Sauer-Zavala et al.
