INTRODUCTION

Several reasons justify the creation of a working group on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), also known as a borderline disorder. One of the first and most apparent is that the BPD is a heterogeneous syndrome, challenging to define, which difference in its etiological determinants and its clinical and behavioral forms of presentation, not only from one individual to another but, even, from one stage to another in the evolution of the same patient. This implies that its definition even their diagnosis is often problematic, despite the existence of defining criteria, such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (version IV) (DSM-IV), which, on the other hand, are not always accepted unanimously.

It must be said that these difficulties contrast with the high prevalence of BPD, which is also variable from one country to another because of the same limitations that we have pointed out. Despite this, currently, patients diagnosed already occupy an ample space of health mental. There is no doubt, however, that his number would increase if the level of knowledge and the means of filtering these disorders among the general population, especially in the adolescent. We must also have consider the importance and transcendence of the TLP in the field of mental health and health in general, and consider its clinical characteristics, among which is known its high comorbidity, which occurs in psychotic disorders and of humor, whether of the depressive or bipolar type, of impulsivity, anxious, obsessive-compulsive, eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia), drug addiction, suicidal tendencies, etc.

Without forgetting the simultaneity with symptoms of other personality disorders such as an antisocial, paranoid, avoidant, and schizotypal type. If we add to all this the severe repercussions in the family environment of these patients and the problems they cause in the social, legal and even economic field, It is evident that we are dealing with a psychopathological disorder that deserves greater interest, both on the part of the health and administrative as of all those who they work in the corresponding sectors and levels of psychiatric care.

Given this situation, the working group on the Borderline personality disorder (BPD), aware and aware of current limitations and deficiencies in this pathology, has proposed to draft this informative document so that, starting from the current reality -in the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, rehabilitating and healthcare aspects in general, among others- contribute to evidence the need for a program that sparks interest in the TLP in all those involved in such a multifaceted issue and in society in general, and also for that activates the precarious research on their etiological, biological and psychosocial factors, and about the assistance that should be offered to improve the quality of life of these patients and of their relatives.

We must recognize that in recent decades the issues concerning the TLP have started to be the object of scientific attention and assistance in several countries, including ours, but also be aware of all that we still have to advance. We trust that this group work progress in this regard.

CHAPTER 1

ENCOUNTER IN THE INTERMEDIATE REALM: APPROACHING THE CLINICAL PICTURE

As an approximation to the clinical picture of the BPS, this chapter does not deal with the definitions, delimitations and historical developments of the terms personality, personality disorder, borderline and borderline personality disorder.

Prevalence, etiology and therapy models of personality disorders are briefly mentioned.

General remarks on the term personality disorder.

Content of this chapter is the clinical research and practice of personality disorders, the definition of personality and disturbed personality, the historical development of the term personality disorder, its prevalence, etiology, and therapy models.

Personality Disorders: Clinical Research and Practice.

Personality disorders have been the focus of interest in clinical research and practice for many years. Traditionally, personality disorders were considered difficult to treat. In conjunction with a general increase in the importance of modern psychiatric diagnostic systems in the 1980s, they have increasingly come to the fore. Now they are an integral part of the clinical categories and are on the way to supplant the old concept of neurosis. As a result, there has been a veritable boom in publications due to this worldwide observable interest in personality disorders. The level of knowledge has steadily increased, leading to continuous changes and updates in the area of ​​disorder concepts as well as diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities.

In the term of personality disorder, the fronts between the therapy schools are still visible, and the mutual devaluation becomes clear.

In particular, behavioral therapists have vehemently resisted this diagnosis until a few years ago, and they have always doubted. Recently, another development can be identified: In place of the previously given responsibility of a Therapy approach increasingly occurs the differential indication. In line with the guiding principle of complementarity, a combination of different approaches to psychotherapeutic approaches should be reasonably conceived and implemented with the help of disorder-specific etiology models. This leads to a paradigm shift away from traditional school-specific psychotherapeutic approaches to increasingly disorder-specific and cross-school therapy concepts that can be applied and evaluated in practice and research. Therefore, the publication of cross-school and disorder-specific collections in the field of personality disorders is steadily increasing. The different therapeutic approaches of personality disorders have in common that they focus on the disorders in the relationship behavior and thus involve the external reality as much as the inner reality of the clients.

Healthy personality and disturbed personality

The personality of a person is understood as the individual constellation of his qualities, his distinctive way of perceiving, thinking, feeling, feeling, and forming relationships. Personality development results from the interplay of genetic-biological prerequisites with psychosocial and physical environmental conditions. As we see it today, personality development and maturation is a process that continues throughout life. A person's personality is a profound yet flexible pattern of experience and behavior. Personality enables people to define themselves continuously and predictably on the one hand, and on the other hand, it guarantees flexibility and adaptability to new situations and changes in the environment. If a person has a personality disorder, this flexibility is lacking to a certain extent. The essence of any personality disorder is its inflexibility and rigidity, characterized by a large, enduring, and inflexible pattern of behavior and experience. This leads to a lack of adaptation to societal demands, personal suffering, and impairments in almost all areas of private life. There is thus a particular contradiction to the modern social requirements for flexibility and mobility. The deviations from the average norm are particularly evident in the mental functions of perception, thinking, and feeling and in relationships with others. Not so deviant is the quality of the individual characteristics of the behavior and experience, but rather their accentuation, the form and above all the dominance, which is expressed both in a lack of social adaptation and in subjective complaints. People with personality disorders have a different view of the world and a different way of dealing with it. From this point of view of the world, there are various ways of doing things that cause and sustain personal suffering repeatedly. This is evident not only on the
