NEA-BPD Scientific Research Forum


 
  The National Education Alliance for Borderline Personality (NEA-BPD) is pleased to announce the launching of the Borderline Personality Disorder Scientific Forum at www.bpdforum.com.  The mission of the site is to host an international online research community for scientists to advance scientific knowledge on borderline personality disorder (BPD). The site will: i) provide a forum that fosters dialogue, networking, and the sharing of the current findings on BPD and ii) host the streaming of the annual research-based conferences of NEA-BPD.

A web program has been designed specifically for the site with functions that allow for discourse among its scientific members. The site offers the opportunity to have running dialogue/commentaries on conference proceedings, recent publications and relevant scientific issues that impact BPD and co-occurring disorders, on articles in draft on which feedback is invited, on potential collaborations, as well as other salient items and issues that impact BPD. Members need to register prior to receiving site privileges.

The first discussion focuses on two articles in the Archives of General Psychiatry1,2. The Scientific Editor of the website in collaboration with others developed four questions that related to the papers. The questions were answered by leading research scientists and, in most instances the replies posted are verbatim with minor edits to prevent redundancies.
