Personality Disorders and Psychopathology Psychoanalysis and Psychopathology Research Personality Traits and Psychology

Abstract

The families of 12 carefully diagnosed patients with borderline personality disorder are compared with the families of both paranoid schizophrenic patients and patients with neurotic personality disorders. The families of the borderline patients were distinguished by the rigid tightness of the marital bond to the exclusion of the attention, support, or protection of the children. This pattern of neglect conforms to one theme in the clinical literature, and its implications for understanding and treating borderline patients are discussed. Limitations in the research methodology make the conclusions from this study tentative, but the results suggest new areas in need of research attention.
