What inspired you to work in this field? Years ago, I had a friend who was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and I became interested in the research and treatment models for BPD when she began treatment. An undergraduate professor who was a Clinical Psychologist and advisor helped to develop my interest in the field.
