- 5. Develop a care plan While the patient is in the more stable chronic state, develop a care plan, or collaborate with other health professionals in the development of one. You can then discuss and agree on approaches for managing acute crisis presentations.
  The plan is an important tool to promote a consistent and forward looking approach to management by all people involved in the therapy, including the patient. People with BPD / EUPD tend to have blurred boundaries and the structure of a plan can give them, and you, helpful boundaries and an increasing sense of appropriate control.
