Abstract

Frequently borderline patients are found to have suffered specific traumata during the separation-individuation phase. These traumata seem to have been experienced by them as punishment for their attempts at autonomy or for their early masturbatory explorations. Psychoanalytically oriented hospital-based treatment can allow for reexperiencing and resolving these difficulties, as illustrated in a case presentation.
