Marital therapy has developed techniques which do not, for the most part, rely on the individual psychiatric diagnosis of the 2 partners. When both spouses suffer from Borderline personality disorders, the standard techniques do not seem to apply, are difficult to put into effect and the results of therapy are poor. The authors illustrate their experience with the description of a 3 month trial of marital therapy involving a borderline couple. The outcome suggests the need for careful individual and interactional diagnosis prior to marital therapy. Specific psychotherapeutic techniques should be tested for use with Borderline marriage partners.
婚姻治疗已经开发出了一些技术，这些技术在很大程度上并不依赖于对夫妻双方进行个体精神科诊断。当夫妻双方都患有边缘型人格障碍时，标准技术似乎并不适用，难以实施，而且治疗效果不佳。作者通过描述一对边缘型人格障碍夫妻进行的为期3个月的婚姻治疗试验来说明他们的经验。结果表明，在进行婚姻治疗之前需要进行仔细的个体和互动诊断。应该测试特定的心理治疗技术用于边缘型人格障碍的婚姻伴侣。
