Chanen et al. (2008) conducted a randomized controlled trial to explore early intervention strategies for adolescents diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), utilizing cognitive analytic therapy (CAT). Their study, spanning over two years, aimed to evaluate changes in symptoms before and after treatment. Various interventions, including CAT, case management, psychiatric care, and in-patient care, were implemented with a focus on mitigating parasuicidal behaviors. Results highlighted CAT as the most effective intervention, underscoring its potential in the early management of BPD.

Choi-Kain et al. (2017) synthesized recent research findings on the treatment of BPD, particularly emphasizing the efficacy of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). The integration of DBT has transformed the landscape of BPD treatment, challenging the perception of its intractable nature. Comparative studies with other therapies such as mentalization-based treatment (MBT), schema-focused therapy (SFT), transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), and systems training for emotional predictability and problem-solving (STEPPS) consistently identified DBT as the primary effective intervention, consolidating its recommendation for BPD management.

Linehan et al. (2015) conducted a single-blind randomized clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of DBT, specifically its skills training component, in reducing suicidal behaviors among BPD patients with high suicide risk. Findings supported the efficacy of standard DBT over other variants like individual or case worker-involved DBT. This study contributes substantial evidence supporting the recommendation of DBT as an intervention, particularly for individuals at high risk of suicide.

Stoffers et al. (2010) delved into pharmacological interventions for BPD, an aspect of treatment that receives comparatively less attention, focusing on addressing affective and impulsive symptoms. Through a systematic review, the study evaluated the efficacy of various drugs compared to placebo or other medications. While certain benefits were observed with second-generation antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and dietary supplements, the overall impact of pharmacotherapy remains limited, emphasizing its role primarily in symptom management alongside psychosocial interventions.

Temes and Zanarini (2019) provided insights into recent psychosocial interventions for BPD, covering a spectrum of symptoms and common comorbidities associated with the disorder. The review highlighted traditional treatments such as DBT, STEPPS, and MBT, while also noting a rising trend in technology-based interventions. Web-based approaches offer enhanced accessibility and shorter intervention durations, particularly advantageous for younger demographics. Despite the breadth of topics covered, navigating the article may pose challenges, yet it stands as a valuable resource for comprehending interventions for BPD.
