Theresa O'Hanley, persona non grata

Article Abstract:

Patients with borderline personality disorder are highly sensitive to rejection by both inpatient and outpatient caretakers. Many psychiatric hospitals keep a list of former patients who are to be barred from future admission under any circumstances. There is evidence that rejection by a psychiatric institution may play a significant role in a patient's subsequent decision to commit suicide. This can be illustrated by examining the case of Theresa O'Hanley, who committed suicide after repeatedly unsuccessful psychiatric consultations.
