Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a “spotlight” on the literature relating the selection, recruitment and development of staff working in personality disorder (PD) services. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews key documentation in the field of PD practice in relation to staff. Findings Despite the publication of guidelines for working with PD clients, a number of large scale enquiries suggest that some services have often failed to absorb and implement the recommendations made which has resulted in serious consequences. Practical implications A number of considerations relating to enhancing staff competency when working in PD units are presented. Originality/value The review outlines a number of good practice guidelines relating to the different stages of recruitment and employment for staff working with PD clients.
