Abstract:
A case study illustrates the aim of this paper, which is to discuss the clinical and theoretical implications of adult patients who have experienced extreme or catastrophic stress in their distant past which may not be immediately "recognisable". A close relationship between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder (as defined in DSM-III-R) is suggested.
