    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychoanalysis
    • Psychopathology

    Context:

    • The diagnostic label "borderline" is predominantly used in North America, yet its conceptual roots lie in European psychiatry and psychoanalysis.
    • The literature reveals diverse diagnostic criteria and characteristics associated with the borderline construct.

    Purpose:

    • To survey the existing literature on the borderline concept.
    • To analyze the various diagnostic criteria, psychoanalytic hypotheses, and therapeutic principles related to borderline personality disorder.

    Summary:

    • The analysis indicates that a clearly defined borderline personality disorder does not exist as a universally acknowledged clinical entity or psychopathological syndrome.
    • Three distinct borderline concepts emerge: 1) as a form of schizophrenia, 2) as synonymous with general psychopathy (personality disorder), and 3) as a specific subtype of psychopathy.
