Abstract

Borderline personality disorder (BPD), is the most frequent of personality disorders, and one of the most severe in global impairment. It shows huge symptomatic variability and high comorbidity rate, so that it spends a big amount of public health service resources. The beginning of this disorder takes place in late adolescence, so Child and Adolescent Mental Health Units (USMI-J) have a relevant role in early diagnosis and intervention. In this article, we describe clinics, early diagnosis difficulties and controversies about it; although in recent investigation it is gradually more accepted. We describe the most relevant psychotherapeutic interventions useful in BPD and its adaptation for adolescent population. We remark initiatives developed in our country, most of all in combination of group and individual therapy, and finally, it is proposed a specific group intervention in order to improve treatment in USMI-J in Alicante.
