"Borderline" has been used to designate conditions intermediate between psychosis and neurosis, analyzability and nonanalyzability; also, for dilute or questionable schizophrenia. Contemporary usage inclines toward patients with manic-depressive heredity, although borderlines are still etiologically heterogeneous. Various subtypes are outlined, each responsive to a particular method of psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy. If drug-abuse or antisocial tendencies are absent, prognosis is ofter favorable.
“边缘性”一词已被用于指代介于精神病与神经症、可分析性与不可分析性之间的状况;此外,也用于指轻度或可疑的精神分裂症。当代的用法倾向于用于有躁郁症遗传倾向的患者,尽管边缘性患者在病因上仍然是异质性的。文中概述了各种亚型,每种亚型对特定的心理治疗或药物治疗方法有反应。如果没有药物滥用或反社会倾向,预后通常良好。
