Abstract
ABSTRACT This critical review of the literature examines recovery from borderline personality disorder to inform a deeper understanding, identifying supports and barriers to recovery, through the exploration of historical and socio-political influences. It critically evaluates research literature for the effectiveness of recovery concept implementation. This review presents the strengths of current evidence and suggestions for future considerations to better support the recovery of whaiora (people seeking wellness) by taking concepts of connection, empowerment, hope, identity and meaning-making, and interweaving them with aspects of established therapies, such as Dialectal Behaviour Therapy, focussing on interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, creating a life worth living, the reconstruction of stable self-image and the use of mindfulness practice. The focus is on developing interventions and responses that support self-management.
