Hospital Treatment of Borderline Patients
Abstract
Staff members handling hospitalized borderline patients are challenged to offer them a new kind of experience rather than reconfirming the projections they are so expert in eliciting from people. The author describes an approach to treatment of these patients in which the staff attempts to handle its own retaliatory fury toward these patients because of their provocative behavior and is able to set limits in a nonpunitive way.
