Abstract:
The authors describe an object-relations based model drawing on the work of Kernberg and colleagues for the assessment of borderline pathology. The substrate of internal object relations that constitutes borderline pathology internally or structurally is described and a model for assessing such pathology in a clinical interview format focusing on identity, defensive style, and quality of object relations is presented. Two clinical examples illustrate how these data can be compiled for purposes of psychodynamic case formulation and decisions about psychodynamic treatment.
