New frontiers in the role of hospitalization for patients with personality disorders
Abstract
The question of hospitalization in patients who suffer from a borderline personality disorder is very contentious. Through a case-based approach, this review article highlights the issues that surround this controversy. It then reviews the current practice guidelines and examines the evidence for various forms of hospitalization. A synthesis of this information leads to practical recommendations for the management of this challenging population.
