The best course of action is to "r efer the client to a experienced counselor to provide treatment to the client".

BPD or as it is called Borderline personality disorder refer to a grave dysfunctional behavior that focuses on the powerlessness to control feelings successfully. The turmoil happens with regards to relationships: once in a while all relations are influenced, at times just a single. It normally starts amid immaturity or early adulthood.
