Chapter 7.Multimodal Treatments
Sections
Excerpt
It takes a village to raise a child. Adolescents grow up in a number of communities: at home, in school, and at extracurricular activities and work. Multimodal, or split, treatments are therefore common. Building your own support network in joining forces with another treater or modality can stabilize the treatment with a proper framework, particularly when the needs of patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and their families may exceed the capacity of a single clinician. When managed well, multimodal treatments can foster compliance with medications, reduce treatment-interfering behaviors, and decrease dropout for patients. They can also reduce burnout for clinicians.
