Abstract
Family Connections (FC: Fruzetti & Hoffman, 2004) is a 12-week manualised training programme, based on DBT, for families or supporters of individuals with a diagnosis of BPD. Data from pilot studies outside the UK, employing pre-post designs, provide limited evidence that FC may be helpful for families of individuals with a BPD diagnosis (Hoffman et al., 2005).
