Objectives: Given the paucity of literature, this study investigated whether a prevention and recovery care (PARC) service supported recovery in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Method: This retrospective study included patients with BPD who had their first (index) admission to North West PARC between 2011 and 2016. Patient medical records and the state-wide database were the sources of information.
Results: Of the 67 patients included, over 70% attended group activities. All patients achieved their recovery goals, either fully or partially. Compared to admission, the frequency of substance use and the Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HoNOS) scores at discharge were significantly less. A significantly smaller number of patients needed inpatient treatment during the 12 months following their PARC admission.
Conclusion: The PARC service appears to promote clinical and psychosocial recovery in patients with BPD.

Background: The mentalization-based perspective of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) underscores fluctuating interpersonal functionality, believed to arise from suboptimal mentalization modes, including hyper- and hypomentalizing. The connection between ineffective mentalizing and specific BPD challenges remains ambiguous. Network theory offers a unique means to investigate the hypothesis that distinct yet interconnected mental challenges ('symptoms') construct 'disorders' through their continuous mutual interactions.

Insomnia and nightmares are present in up to 45 % of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and can contribute to challenges with emotion regulation, low sleep quality, dream anxiety, increased arousal and self-control. Despite their prevalence, nightmares are usually not addressed in classical BPD treatment. Imagery rehearsal therapy (IRT) is considered first in line treatment for nightmares, however, there are no studies to date that investigate its effects in individuals with BPD.

Objective: Clients with relational trauma often face challenges in forming a therapeutic alliance, a primary predictor of psychotherapy outcomes. Unresolved traumatic stress can lead to a passive stance in therapy, manifested as a tendency to seek advice and approval from therapists in order to establish more predictable relational dynamics. This comes at the cost of adequately addressing their own therapeutic needs, which often leads to stagnation, treatment dropout, and frustration with the therapist.
