Le « Good Psychiatric Management-Adolescents » (GPM-A) : un modèle généraliste et accessible de traitement du trouble de la personnalité borderline chez l’adolescent

The Good Psychiatric Management for Adolescents (GPM-A) is a generalist model of structured care for adolescents with borderline personality disorder. It is based on principles derived from several psychotherapies validated in the treatment of borderline personality disorder and on current good practice data. Borderline personality disorder is conceptualised as the result of a particular sensitivity to relationships (defined with the term interpersonal hypersensitivity). The GPM-A offers clinicians a pragmatic approach based on good practice in the care of adolescents with borderline personality disorder. Developed in the United States, it is currently being disseminated in the French-speaking world. This article provides a summary of the main components of the model and a discussion of the benefits expected from its implementation among French-speaking clinicians.
