This paper reviews the literature concerning the phenomenology and duration of psychosis in borderline patients and presents empirical findings concerning a sample of eight borderline women with psychosis. Little work has yet been done to establish the duration of so called "transient psychotic episodes," but the clinical consensus up to now has been that such episodes last less than two weeks. The patients in the current study experienced psychotic symptoms lasting between three weeks and four months. They were characterized by hysterical features, visual disturbances, and a possible history of sexual trauma. The diagnostic and therapeutic implications of these prolonged psychotic episodes is discussed.
本文回顾了有关边缘型人格障碍患者精神病的现象学和病程的文献，并呈现了关于八名患有精神病的边缘型女性样本的实证研究结果。目前关于确定所谓“短暂精神病性发作”的病程的研究较少，但迄今为止的临床共识是，此类发作持续时间少于两周。本研究中的患者经历的精神病性症状持续了三周至四个月。这些症状的特点是具有癔症特征、视觉障碍以及可能存在性创伤史。本文还讨论了这些延长的精神病性发作的诊断和治疗意义。
