Description
Otto Kernberg (1975) described Borderline Personality Organization (BPO) as a stable psychological structure distinct from neurotic and psychotic ranges. Such individuals are prone to loss of reality testing and overvalued ideas restricted to the transference. There is also persistence of immature splitting defenses leading to reduced anxiety tolerance and poor impulse control. Pathological internalized object relations also contribute to diminished ego strength, a hallmark of BPO.
The BPO organizes the individual’s behavior, perceptions and subjective experience. BPO’s central characteristic is the nature and degree of integration of the sense of self and others. In Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP), the function of the patient’s personality organization is assessed in the Assessment and Treatment phases and the treatment goals guide the patient to advance from abnormal personality functioning towards normal functioning.
