The borderline-narcissistic personality disorder continuum
G Adler
The author describes the usefulness of conceptualizing patients with
borderline and narcissistic personality disorders along a continuum, using
three main developmental lines. A clinical example demonstrates
progression, during psychotherapy, from the borderline end of the continuum
to the narcissistic personality disorder end.
