According to Young, ending therapy is considered when the patient no longer meets the criteria for a diagnosis of BPD and has built up a relatively stable social network and has found a meaningful way of filling her days. So originally, ST for BPD was open‐ended: treatment finished when patient and therapist agreed it to be complete. However, recent experiences demonstrate that a time‐limited ST for BPD is in general as successful as open‐ended ST (see Chapter 11, “Ending Therapy”). When there is no progress at all after at least one year of ST, it is also recommended to seriously consider stopping treatment, as research indicates that there is little chance that improvement will be accomplished later.
