 Controlled Treatment 
 trials of BPD are typically shorter than two 
 years and demonstrate significant but small 
 improvements over treatment and/or follow-up. 
  These studies generally do not examine whether 
 the patients psychodynamically improve or 
 recover and, in particular the length of time 
 required for recovery.  This presentation 
 examines defenses, motives (arranged in Erikson's 
 developmental framework) and conflicts in 
 BPD and examines how much they change over 
 long-term follow-up.  In addition the presentation 
 will determine whether BPD patients improve 
 at a similar rate as non-BPD patients, and 
 whether any patients with BPD attain dynamic 
 recovery and healthy functioning.  \n
