Foreword

Individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD) often lead challenging lives. They typically have complicated diagnostic profiles including multiple disorders, intense and erratic interpersonal relationships, and failed multiple treatment trials. This does not include the fact that many individuals with BPD also engage in suicidal and non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors, which frightens many therapists and family members, not to mention the individual him- or herself, who may have difficulty identifying reasons to live.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Drs. Blaise Aguirre and Gillian Galen for the past ten years, as we have shared clients. At McLean Hospitals 3East Residential Treatment Program, they have treated many hundreds of teens and young adults who are referred from around the world due to their complicated clinical profiles. Having dedicated their lives to working with individuals diagnosed with BPD, Aguirre and Galen represent the most passionate, compassionate, and creative evidence-based practitioners.

Aguirre and Galens collective clinical brilliance is captured in Coping with BPD. By using laypersons language, the authors present a user-friendly self-help book for individuals with BPD that will undoubtedly supplement most standard therapies. Clinicians will also find that the authors clear and succinct conceptualization of problems and proposed practical solutions easily apply to their own clients.

Historically, when individuals in weekly psychotherapy had problems they would have to wait for their next weekly session to talk about what had happened. For people who have BPD, having to wait a week to deal with a problem can seem like an eternity of suffering, and this suffering interferes with developing the skills necessary to effectively cope with real-life challenges in the moment. With the advent of dialectical behavioral therapy, or DBT, between-session skills coaching by phone or text gives those struggling with BPD a more real-time, or at least closer-to-real-time, option to access therapeutic coaching to more effectively cope with whatever is going on.
