That treatment was created by UW Psychology Professor Marsha Linehan, who has been working with borderline patients in the UW’s Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinic for years. Time dubbed the treatment “fixing a busted personality,” saying it is successful with patients who were once considered incurable.
