Perceptions of parental bonding in borderline patients
J Paris and H Frank
McGill University Student Mental Health Service, Montreal, Canada.
Eighteen borderline and 29 nonborderline female patients were scored on
perceptions of care and of protection by each of their parents. The two
groups differed significantly in that borderline patients perceived less
care than did nonborderline patients, particularly from their mothers.
