[Differential diagnosis of borderline in relation to schizophrenic and neurotic depressive disorders]

The results of studies to explore the discriminative validity of a german version of the "Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines" ("DIB" from Gunderson et al.) are reported. The DIB is suited to differentiate clinically diagnosed borderline personality disorders from schizophrenics and neurotic depressives. The concurrent validity of the DIB may be enlarged by modifications of the proposed scaling system.
