I certainly agree that the professions have a LONG way to go.

Another area to consider is that all of the disorders may have different origins, or multiple origins. For instance PTSD - 2 men in the same battle, one comes out with PTSD, one without. In that situation there are 3 things to consider - the impact of the trauma, their genetics, and the environment they were raised in.

IMO, eventually BPD will be moved to AXIS I where it belongs. It's not an intractable personality type. An invalidating childhood environemnt is at best a neglectful one. These people were injured, need long term treatment and can improve.
