Abstract
Twelve patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) completed the States Description Procedure (SDP). The descriptions applied by these patients to the ten states named on the form are reported. The findings support the Multiple Self States Model of BPD and indicate how the phenomenology of BPD may be further studied using this approach. It is suggested that the diagnosis and case management of borderline patients need to incorporate these structural understandings. As a result of the study a modified form of the procedure (SDP(R)) is proposed. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
