AllHeart/thesnowqueen: I hear you, it's the before part of the before/after of the article. i couldn't help commenting because it seems to reflect prevailing attitudes among therapists, about clients in general not just BPD or some other subset, though admittedly this is a tangent. Also, even after he had his epiphany or change of heart, one wonders what vestiges of this tendency to objectify and pathologize remain and can the client ever escape it...
