Also, I wrote much-more-interesting blog posts exposing some falsehoods she and I were both told on topics of political economy not directly related to BPD. The truth is in my essays “Is the Pirating of Intellectual Property Just a Form of Intra-Industry Competition?” (spoiler: it’s not) and “Libertarians and the Myth of the Winner-Takes-All Patent Monopoly.”
Years ago, I wrote a post titled “More BPD Treatments on Oahu.” Frankly, my friend’s life would have turned out much better for her had she bothered to take an interest in it at that time when she was on Oahu, but fifteen years late is preferable to never. The links on my old post are mostly outdated. Therefore, if my friend somehow stumbles upon this, here is an update.
Psychology Today magazine still has a directory of mental-health professionals in Hawai‘i who treat BPD and with whom you can speak in person. The link to the updated directory, as of my typing this, is here.
I was also impressed to learn that DBT-Hawaii — dialectical behavior therapy is one form of treatment for BPD — is still in operation, and at the same URL as it was so many years ago.
