Seeking to establish a common language, the contributors to Borderline Personality Disorders examine the concept "borderline" as such, and define it in both psychodynamic and phenomenological terms, while describing the conditions for which the term is used. A good proportion of the contributors are clinicians of a psychoanalytic persuasion. They were chosen on the basis of the expertise and relevance of the data each had to offer. They provide not only descriptions of behavior, but also explorations of intra-psychic reality and treatment modalities. The origin of borderline personality disorders is also investigated in terms of genetics, infant development, and family dynamics. Brought together are scientists whose projects involve carefully controlled populations in experimental wards or in the community, and therapists whose observations and insights are based primarily on private clinical practice. The problem is approached globally, but also in detail, on the basis of descriptive and statistical data. ... (Verlagstext) / INHALT : ...
