TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - The borderline personality JO - American family physician A1 - Charry, D. SP - 195 EP - 202 VL - 27 IS - 1 N2 - These individuals, who are often bright and verbal, present with intriguing physical and emotional symptoms. The pathology of the borderline personality begins at an early age with a failure to integrate a sense of self. Patients with this disorder have little sense of who they are or what they are feeling; anger is the one emotion felt consistently. Such patients may present with psychosomatic symptoms, brief psychotic episodes, depression or suicide attempts. Extended psychotherapy is generally required for enduring benefits.
