Abstract

The combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy may offer some borderline patients a more effective treatment than either modality alone. The author reviews evidence from recent studies demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses of each modality separately; discusses the indications and contraindications for combined treatment; considers the special complications introduced in conducting such a combined treatment with borderline patients; and presents some strategies for addressing these complications.
