Clinical Problems in Community Mental Health Care for Patients with Severe Borderline Personality Disorder
Community Mental Health Journal, 10/28/09

Koekkoek B et al. – Problems with attachment and dependency and social issues were important patient problems while a lack of skills was an important professional problem. Support from the patient’s social system and the mental health system were identified as limited, which resulted in both the patient and the professional feeling isolated. Patient, professional, and organisational characteristics of community care differ substantially from those of specialized care. The field is thus in need of a more tailored approach that takes these differences into account.
