TL;DR
Sixty-five percent of borderline patients from a general hospital population were no longer diagnosable as borderline, and all scales of the Diagnostic Index for Borderlines showed reduction of symptomatic behavior.
Abstract
One hundred borderline patients from a general hospital population were followed for a mean of 15 years. Seventy-five percent were no longer diagnosable as borderline. All scales of the Diagnostic Index for Borderlines (DIB) showed reduction of symptomatic behavior. The mean Health-Sickness Rating Scale (HSRS) was 63, with clear functional improvement. However, there was a high risk of completed suicide (8.5%).
