| Abstrakt: | Students with borderline personality disorders are difficult to counsel and present problems in consultation. Providing these students with structure through consistent limit setting can produce positive changes in their behavior. Several books have been written (e.g., Kernberg, 1975; Kroll, 1988; Masterson, 1976; Meissner, 1984; Millon, 1981) regarding the treatment of individuals diagnosed as having borderline personality disorder. Most references deal with long-term, psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy with people given this diagnosis. College counseling centers generally cannot provide such treatment, yet individuals with this disorder attend college and seek help at college centers. We have seen a number of these students. It is the purpose of this article to begin to fill the literature gap by sharing our experiences in identifying and counseling students with borderline personality disorder. We also relate this disorder to Chickering's (1969) developmental theory. We are PhD psychologists (clinicians and counselors) with between 9 and 19 years counseling experience, mostly in college settings. Clients diagnosed as borderline are difficult to counsel, and we refer some for treatment outside the university; however, we counsel most of these clients ourselves. Because we place no limit on the number of sessions clients in our center may have, students are sometimes seen over the course of their entire academic career. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
