Abstract

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the topic of personality disorders and the comorbid difficulties in the emotional and social functioning of those affected. This is largely due to the needs of clinicians  (including psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists) monitoring the increasingly isolated occurrence of typically neurotic disorders and the increasing number of individuals with personality difficulties or a nosological, psychiatric diagnosis of personality. It is worth mentioning that the relevant category for personality disorders is "personality disorders  and other related features" ( Gaebel W., Zielasek J., Reed GM 2017). The term "borderline personality disorder" is often called the personality disorder of our time. However, this definition is often used and misused in everyday language. Borderline personality disorder is associated with significant suffering  and, over many years, with difficulties in individual functioning. To date, various approaches have focused on discussing the factors that may have a significant impact on the development of borderline personality disorder , analyzing its course, and examining the effectiveness of existing treatment methods.
