I was misdiagnosed BPD years ago..when talking to my current T about the stigma around this diagnosis he said, yes, some therapists hate treating them, but some love it because it can be one of the most rewarding therapeutic relationships...I guess all T's and docs have certain illnesses they are uncomfortable or unqualified to deal with, but there does seem to be a lot more negative stigma surrounding BPD...I've heard it referred to as the "new hysteria"
