The most recognized treatment for BPD is DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). It is a group (usually once a week) where you learn coping skills and how to change behaviors. Also need to see a DBT therapist once every week and usually need to see a psychiatrist once or twice a month. It's pretty intense, but I know people who have gone through it and have made significant progress in changing behaviors, and several of them are considered recovered. Thought you might want to look into it...best of luck to you both!
