Resources
In the past ten years, DBT has become more widely practiced and available. Research has expanded the scope of treatment possibilities and family stories have helped reduce the stigma. Only a few years ago, a Time Magazine cover proclaimed: Borderline Personality: the Disorder Doctors Fear the Most.
Now, thanks to widely available resources, conferences and the effectiveness of the treatment, stigma is reduced and family members are engaged in helping their relatives lead hopeful lives. This section contains some links to important resources. Take a look.
