abstract="Epidemiological and neurobiological perspectives about suicidality in borderline patients are described, highlighting how self-destructive and seemingly suicidal acts are their &quot;behavioral specialty.&quot; Principles for management, including the need for a primary clinician to oversee safety, and the pros and cons of both &quot;contracting for safety&quot; and hospitalization are presented. Clinical material is used to illustrate an approach that involves minimal initiative to rescue by therapists, a readiness to comply with patients' wishes for protection (the principle of false submission), and very active interpretation. This approach is contrasted with those advocated by Linehan and Kernberg.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
