I've been referred to "Intensive Psychological Therapy Service" too, I haven't been diagnosed with BPD because im too young, but I have all the traits and what not. I haven't started yet, but I have an assessment in Jan. My care worker told me that the IPTS thing is DBT. He said it's weekly individual therapy, and then weekly group therapy. I'm a full time student so I am in the same position, but they've said it is only a maximum of about 3 hours a week. I guess it varies from trust to trust, but that is the policy where I am.
