Explain the psychodynamic perspective on the development of borderline personality disorder
What will be an ideal response?
According to the psychodynamic perspective, people tend to internalize negative parental attitudes, leaving them vulnerable to fears of abandonment and to self-hatred. In addition, they tend to treat themselves as they were treated by their parents. These attitudes prevent the development of mature, consistent, and positive perceptions of themselves and others. They also lead to an inability to regulate mood when faced with disappointment, and difficulty in taking another's point of view.
