The objective of this research was to review features these disorders share, evidence\u2010based approaches used for treating these disorders in isolation, clinicians' experiences of delivering treatment for co\u2010occurring BPD and ED, and finally to explore integrated approaches to treating this dual diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A qualitative approach was used to examine interview transcripts of 10 clinicians employed at specialist outpatient services for severe BPD or severe ED. Interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nominated features shared by BPD and ED were emotion dysregulation, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties. Clinicians endorsed a range of therapeutic approaches for this dual diagnosis patient group, as well as an eclectic approach utilizing a combination of treatment features. Most clinicians proposed an ideal program duration of 6\u201312\u2009months, with group and individually focused therapy complementing one another to address underlying behavioural drivers and confer lasting clinical benefits.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study distills the importance of adopting integrated treatments for people with this dual diagnosis to optimize treatment outcomes. Future research could include soliciting client perspectives on using an integrated treatment approach for this dual diagnosis and trials of this approach\u00a0to assess acceptability, feasibility, and longer\u2010term outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Public Significance Statement<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study highlights the merit of concurrently addressing the complex interplay between EDs and BPD via an integrated treatment approach. Streamlining the therapeutic approach can address underlying features of these disorders, improve clinical formulation, and optimize patient outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.24397","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,4]],"date-time":"2025-03-04T11:44:19Z","timestamp":1741088659000},"page":"917-925","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Toward Integrated Treatment for Co\u2010Occurring Borderline Personality Disorder and Eating Disorders: A Clinician Perspective"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-8400-3446","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Charlotte","family":"Cunningham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences Swinburne University of Technology  Hawthorn Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3342-5868","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jillian H.","family":"Broadbear","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spectrum Personality Disorder and Complex Trauma Service  Richmond Australia"},{"name":"Personality Disorder &amp;
