:The lives of patients with borderline personality disorder are characterized by turmoil, and their interpersonal relationships by conflict. As a result, these patients can be very difficult to treat. However, an accurate diagnosis and an understanding of the psychodynamics and emotional development of borderline patients can lead to improved management.
