An interesting area of research relating to BPD is the study of the effects of the disorder on other family members and significant others in the lives of those with traits of borderline personality disorder. These people refer to themselves as NonBPs. Living with someone with BPD traits is often disorienting and difficult. NonBPs require support from the mental health community as they help those with the disorder while maintaining strength in their own view of reality.
