Despite my frequent referrals to him, he refused to admit a suicidal borderline to the hospital because he wouldn't take care of borderlines. I found out that almost all psychiatrists felt the same way.” Dr. Heller got involved in the treatment of borderlines when he realized there was hope for recovery, although there was not much hope expressed to him by other professionals. His book, “Life At The Border: Understanding and Recovering from the Borderline Personality Disorder”, has offered hope to thousands of borderlines internationally.
