Is this an accurate definition of Borderline Personality Disorder?


Question:
I'm trying to find info on Borderline Personality Disorder, I've found the following definition and was wondering if it's an accurate one. It seem different from those found on webMD and most websites.

Here is the Link.

http://www.stanford.edu/~corelli/borderline.html

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Answers:
My sister has been diagnosed as Borderline and this Stanford link sounds like it was written to describe her. She went undiagnosed and untreated for many, many years. She was also suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome from a rape when she was 13. She began cutting herself when she was 15-16 and was in a full blown emotional breakdown when her marriage of 17 years began breaking up (no surprise her ex was verbally abusive). After going through many doctors she finally found one who diagnosed her and she is currently getting treatment with counseling and medication.
There must be lots of personality disorders, like depression, stress, bi polar(?). Maybe it is important to know what type of disorder you have then apply the definition to that disorder.
