Abstract
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a leading candidate for developing empirically based prevention and early intervention programmes because it is common in clinical practice, it is among the most distressing and functionally disabling of all mental disorders, it is often associated with help-seeking, and it has been shown to respond to treatment, even in those with established disorder. Moreover, BPD can be reliably diagnosed in its early stages and it demarcates a group with high levels of current and future distress, morbidity and mortality, making intervention a clinically justified and humane response. Data also suggest considerable flexibility and malleability of BPD traits in youth, making this a key developmental period during which to intervene.
