Abstract

Experience with borderline patients leads the author to conclude that their disruptive behavior is often intensified by an intensive treatment milieu that fails to set limits on their wish for gratification. He stresses the place of therapeutic transfer to a different setting such as a state hospital and firm limit setting as essential elements of successful management.
