Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD):
Theory, Research and Treatment

Dr. Alex Chapman, Assist Prof Psychology, SFU
Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD) is one of the most misunderstood psychiatric disorders, yet one of the most serious. 75% people with BPD attempt suicide; 8-10% die by suicide. Often people with BPD are not aware of what causes their ongoing instability of emotions that affect their relationships, their behaviour and their identity. They not only experience stigma from society, but also from health providers. Dr. Chapman’s goal is to present accurate, up-to-date information about the latest research, possible causes and treatments of BPD. Dr.Chapman will challenge some common myths and explain why BPD is an understandable and treatable psychiatric disorder. A question and answer session will follow. Admission is free, and registration is not required.

FREE - No charge to attend.
