N2  - This chapter reviews and discusses the issues and controversies related to the hospitalization of suicidal patients with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. It highlights the challenges faced by both the clinical staff and a prototypical patient during a hospitalization. Included are a discussion of the transference and counter-transference that arise during inpatient treatment, the stressors on the staff as well as on the patients themselves. The chapter offers suggestions for enhanced in-hospital treatment, including increased collaborative decision- making, clear and realistic short- and long-term goals for patient and family, and increased supervision and ongoing education of staff. © Copyright (c) by The Haworth Press, Inc.
