TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Suicide, suicide litigation, and borderline personality disorder JO - Journal of personality disorders A1 - Gutheil, Thomas G. SP - 248 EP - 256 VL - 18 IS - 3 N2 - In the category of malpractice liability affecting mental health practitioners of all disciplines, malpractice based on suicide is the leading claim by a significant margin. Our discussion here will be organized in two sections. First, we consider the theory, practice, and psychology of malpractice litigation itself in relation to suicide. Second, we describe how those basic principles apply to patients with borderline personality disorder.
