The article deals with the clinical condition known as borderline disorder and is derived from an examination of psychoanalytic literature on the case. Our goal is to provide systematic information so that readers can delve into the subject, or even so that they can confront their positions with those of various authors. We’ll discuss the several definitions and nomenclatures, psychodynamics, symptoms, etiology, therapeutic techniques, common problems during treatment and the general aspects of the transference and countertransference. In the end, we’ll offer a contribution in the psychodynamics, which refers to the identification in the literature of the idea of a borderline object that is part of the psychodynamics essence of the case. In addition, we will analyze the information examined using the idea of borderline object as guideline.
