“…A more recent summary of the literature (Levy, 2005) estimates separation and loss at 37 -64% but identifies 4 studies that failed to confirm these findings. Whilst it does not confirm the assumption that all borderline patients have a borderline parent, and whilst we should not exclude the possibility of child-to-parent effects or genetic rather than environmental mediation, there is consistent evidence of problematic parenting and parental bonding with BPD (Frank & Hoffman, 1986;Johnson et al, 2001;Paris, 2003;Paris & Frank, 1989;Russ, Heim, & Westen, 2003;Soloff & Millward, 1983;Young & Gunderson, 1995). Low family cohesion and high instability characterizes families of BPD patients (Feldman et al, 1995).…”

Background: Mentalization-based treatment is a model of psychodynamic therapy rooted in attachment theory that aims to enhance the individual's capacity to represent thoughts, feelings, wishes, beliefs and desires in themselves and in others in the context of attachment relationships. \ud \ud Aims: To describe the normal development of mentalization as well as anomalies in mentalization that can arise and can ultimately lead to the development of personality disorder. \ud \ud Method: Description of the basic principles of mentalization-based treatment as well as the rationale for use of these techniques. \ud \ud Results: Summaries of randomized controlled trial and a description of an ongoing RCT for the outpatient treatment of BPD. \ud \ud Conclusion: MBT is a generic psychotherapeutic treatment which shares many features with other psychotherapeutic approaches but is unique in focusing on enhancing the patient's capacity to think about and regulate mental states. \ud \u

“…Six studies have assessed the prevalence of prolonged early separations and losses in the childhood histories of borderline patients (Akiskal et al, 1985;Bradley, 1979;Links, Steiner, Offord, &Eppel, 1988;Soloff &Millward 1983a;Walsh, 1977;Zanarini, Gunderson, Marino, Schwartz, & Frankenburg, 1989). Two conclusions have emerged from these studies.…”

The available empirical evidence concerning the etiology of borderline personality disorder is reviewed. A tripartite model of the development of BPD is then presented. This model has three elements: a traumatic childhood (broadly defined), a vulnerable (hyperbolic) temperament, and a triggering event or series of events. The authors conclude that each borderline patient has a unique pathway to the development of BPD that is a painful variation on an unfortunate but familiar theme.

“…21 For borderline personality disorder the most promising aetiological clues to date are of another order again, referring as they do to failures of parent-child attachment in early life. 23 Each line of inquiry presents its own challenges for future research. Thirdly, there is, or should be, no gulf in understanding that cuts us off from the 'endogenously' as opposed to the 'reactively' depressed patient.…”
