Time to Attainment of Recovery From Borderline Personality Disorder and Stability of Recovery: A 10-year Prospective Follow-Up Study
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this study were to determine time to attainment of recovery from borderline personality disorder and to assess the stability of recovery. METHOD: A total of 290 inpatients who met both DSM-III-R and Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines criteria for borderline personality disorder were assessed during their index admission using a series of semistructured interviews and self-report measures. The same instruments were readministered every 2 years for 10 years. RESULTS: Over the study period, 50% of participants achieved recovery from borderline personality disorder, which was defined as remission of symptoms and having good social and vocational functioning during the previous 2 years. Overall, 93% of participants attained a remission of symptoms lasting at least 2 years, and 86% attained a sustained remission lasting at least 4 years. Of those who achieved recovery, 34% lost their recovery. Of those who achieved a 2-year remission of symptoms, 30% had a symptomatic recurrence, and of those who achieved a sustained remission, only 15% experienced a recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the results of this study suggest that recovery from borderline personality disorder, with both symptomatic remission and good psychosocial functioning, seems difficult for many patients to attain. The results also suggest that once attained, such a recovery is relatively stable over time.

In the citing paper
“While 50% of borderline patients attained a two-year recovery after 10 years of prospective follow-up (5), only 60% attained this outcome after an additional six years of prospective follow-up.”
In the citing paper
“In the McLean Study of Adult Development, it was found that 93% of the borderline patients achieved a remission that lasted at least two years but only 50% attained a two-year recovery, which was defined as concurrent symptomatic remission and good social and vocational functioning.”
In the citing paper
“These results are consistent with and extend our findings pertaining to the first 10 years of prospective follow-up in this study where we found that 30% of borderline patients had a recurrence of borderline personality disorder after a two-year long remission (5).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
