Should we distinguish between limit states and borderline disorders? - 2016.


60

The author seeks to reassert Jean Bergeret’s opposition between “limit states” and “borderline” disorders. He suggests that they can be considered as two different categories of untriggered psychoses, with limit states manifesting as pre-mood disorders, and borderline states as pre-schizophrenic disorders. This hypothesis is corroborated by two clinical cases exhibiting quite different transferential interactions and psychopathological issues.
