Abstract

Borderline children and adults have been increasingly described in the psychiatric literature. This paper provides an overview of recent advances in classifying the adult borderline patient and a description of borderline children. A study is then presented which demonstrates that borderline psychotic children can be differentiated with statistically significant differences into Schizotypal and Borderline Personality disorders of the DSM III classification. General clinical characteristics are described, and a child from each of the categories is presented more fully. Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry, 21, 2:197–202, 1982.
