Borderline Personality Disorder: Facts, Myths, and Mentalization

Taking Good Care Podcast by Dr. Andrew H.C. Wong & Dr. David St. Arnault

Episode notes

Borderline personality disorder is often viewed as one of the most challenging mental health conditions to understand and treat. In this episode, Dr. Andrew and Dr. Dave sit down with registered psychologist Dr. Mark Nicoll for a compelling conversation that separates fact from myth when it comes to borderline personality disorder in adolescents and teens. Together, they explore intense emotions, turbulent relationships, self-harm, and the many experiences that shape this diagnosis. Most importantly, Dr. Nicoll offers a clear, practical introduction to mentalization-based treatment — an evidence-based therapeutic approach that is making a real difference in the lives of young people and their families.
