Statement of Need- Diagnosis and treatment
interventions of borderline
personality disorder should begin as
soon as possible
- Borderline Personality disorder
(BPD) is a severe and generally
chronic disorder and people who
suffer from it are underserved.
- Friends and families are often
bewildered and do not know how to
help.
- Treatment programs for those with
BPD need to be more readily
available.
- Families need access to programs
such as those already developed for
several other mental illnesses.
- BPD presents patients, their
families, clinicians, and
researchers with multiple
challenges.
- BPD frequently co-occurs with
obesity and eating disorders,
confounding all of the above
challenges
Purpose
The complex challenges associated
with BPD, obesity, and eating
disorders will be addressed in order
to inform mental health
professionals, families and
consumers of the most current
diagnostic information and treatment
options, as well as other current
issues relevant to those affected by
these difficulties.
Audience
This conference will provide a forum
for professionals, family members,
and consumers to better understand
BPD, obesity, and eating disorders
from various perspectives.
The Conference is for physicians,
psychiatrists, psychologists, social
workers, family therapists,

personnel, law enforcement personnel
and agencies, educators, family
members, friends, and consumers.

practice relating to BPD, obesity,

CONFERENCE REGISTRAR
Jacquelyn N. Smith, LMSW,
came to NYC in 2003 to attend
Columbia University School of Social
Work. During her second-year year
internship at Creedmoor Psychiatric
Center she was exposed to and began
practicing DBT with patients
struggling with dysfunction related
to Borderline Personality Disorder.
She completed her internship under
the auspices of Andre Ivanoff,
Ph.D., professor at CUSSW and
International Trainer and Consultant
for Behavioral Tech, LLC, the agency
overseeing the implementation of
DBT. From this internship, she was
Intensively Trained in DBT at the
Bronx VA in 2005. After briefly
working at F.E.G.S. upon graduation
from CUSSW, she worked for 2 1/2
years at the NYPH/Payne Whitney day
program performing individual and
group psychotherapy, and half-time
in the DBT track. Her professional
life then became full circle as she
returned to Creedmoor Psychiatric
Center on the Dialectical Behavior
Therapy ward where she first trained
in DBT. “DBT is my passion," she
says, “and working to create a life
worth living for those struggling
with dysfunction resulting from BPD.
I am always seeking to learn more,
expand my knowledge base, and become
involved to bring hope to those
seeking a better life in spite of
BPD. I look forward to working with
NEA-BPD in my ongoing quest to
spread the word about the support
available for individuals with BPD
and their loved ones.”
