    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • The term "borderline" in psychiatric literature lacks a universally agreed-upon definition.
    • Existing psychiatric nosological classifications contribute to the ambiguity surrounding the borderline state.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the diverse conceptualizations of the borderline state within the existing literature.
    • To identify distinct patient groups described under the umbrella term "borderline".

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and conceptual analysis of psychiatric research on the borderline state.
    • Examination of different authors' definitions and applications of the borderline concept.

    Main Results:

    • Three primary conceptualizations of the borderline state were identified.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • These concepts include borderline as a forme fruste of schizophrenia, a general personality disorder (psychopathy), and a distinct personality disorder subtype.

    • Conclusions:

    • The heterogeneity in defining the borderline state leads to the description of different patient populations.
    • Clarifying these distinct concepts is essential for advancing the understanding and classification of borderline personality disorder.
