Brief Admission for Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a contested diagnosis in mental health, characterized by emotional dysregulation, unstable relationships, and self-harming behaviors.
A 4-year longitudinal study from Sweden examined Brief Admission, which allows people with BPD to self-refer for short respite stays, offering a person-centred alternative to emergency hospitalization.

A systematic review of Brief Admission described promising but inconsistent results, as discussed by Dan Warrender in a recent blog post.
