METHODS OF THERAPEUTIC APPROACH IN BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDERS – A CASE STUDY

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the benefits of psychotherapy in the treatment and recovery of borderline personality disorders. Self-mutilation, suicidal ideation, fluctuating mood, strong rage against one’s own person, mitigated by the use of alcohol, chaotic sex life, self-destructive behavior, and inner-sightedness are part of the criteria for diagnosing borderline personality disorders. Patient problems are extremely different from case to case: auto or heterogression behavior, substance abuse, eating disorders, sexual promiscuity. The methods used in the realization of the study are maieutics, dialectics, progressive relaxation, hypnotherapy. The case study concerned a young woman, Maria G., and presents the synthesis of a number of investigations and the techniques used in the therapy because the disorder is of moderate intensity, accepting that in mild or moderate cases cognitive techniques predominate, so that in severe cases the approach is initially made behaviorally and later through cognitive techniques. Results Through the psycho-educational approach, the patient has gained better control capacity and better crisis management. Since at the time of coming into therapy she was four months prior to the bachelor’s examination, she was taught about time management so she could go through the entire examination material. The outcome was favorable, with the patient becoming a BA graduate. Having left Piteşti, she asked to be transferred to another psychotherapist and psychiatrist to help her resolve crisis situations in the future. Our scientific approach makes it easy to draw conclusions about the possible causal role and the relationship between intensely traumatic experiences and the severity of self-destructive behavior manifestations that these patients manifest. An integrated, diversified and staggered therapy is required over a longer period of time, with encouraging results for both the patient and the therapist.
