Objectives:
To present the model of treatment of patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), created in 2013, in São João Hospital, including sociodemographic and clinical characterization of the patients.

Background:
The creation of specialized BPD models of treatment has been shown to have clinical and economic benefits. The program we present is based on the McLean Hospital model (Gunderson,2008), is focused on residential and intensive outpatient treatment and provides a more rigorous level of structure, treatment and support that was previously unavailable.

Materials and Methods:
Retrospective analysis of the clinical processes of the enrolled patients.

Results and Conclusions:
73 patients were admitted in the program (68 females and 4 males), from which 48 are still enrolled. The average age was 28.1. Most patients were single and had graduated from high school. In total, 42.5% were students at the time of admission. 71% were referred to the program from an outpatient psychiatric appointment. Concerning the levels of treatment, 12% were submitted to the Residency Program; 44% enrolled the Intensive Outpatient program, 18% in Outpatient program and 12% attend/attended the psychotherapeutic group for BPD patients. Our treatment is based in multiple psychotherapies (mentalization based therapy, dialectial behavior therapy, narrative therapy, psychodrama), trying to adapt a well-structured program to the individual patient. Additional data is being analyzed towards inclusion in the final version of this work.
The creation of this program has been a huge difference in the treatment of people with borderline personality disorder, showing the benefits of having a team and a well structured model.
