Psychotherapy: There are many therapies which are effective for borderline personality disorder. All are long term. Medication may be useful for specific symptoms, but not as a primary treatment.

DBT: Dbt, or dialetic behavioral therapy, formulated and developed by marsha linehan, pH.D. Is currently though of as being very effective. Borderline personality disorder or treatment is more a management issue than an issue that is curable.
