On the Radio: A Thoughtful Discussion of BPD

This week I listened to one of the most informative and well-balanced discussions of borderline personality disorder I have ever heard. The segment was originally broadcast on the Leonard Lopate Show on New York Public Radio in 2007, but it can be heard on demand from the WNYC archives.

The segment features Dr. Frank Yeomans, an expert in BPD and clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the Weill Medical College, and Christina Knight and Kiera Van Gelder, two individuals who are recovering from BPD. Incidentally, I discovered the show on the website for a non-profit organization devoted to providing education on BPD, The Middle Path. The organization is directed by Ms. Van Gelder, and the website includes a number of very good BPD resources.
