Abstrakt     Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a multidimensional disorder with several etiological, clinical and nosological unknowns. Views upon it differ among individual psychiatrists as well as among significant schools of different countries. In 1980 it was included into the American classification of mental disorders (DSM) and in 1996 into the classification of World Health Organisation (ICD), but with a different name emotionally unstable personality disorder. This fact indicates the differences between American and European psychiatry. The different views on BPD in world literature are reflected in conceiving and diagnosing BPD also in Slovenia. With this investigation I wanted to present some characteristics of BPD in Slovenia and some ways in which psychiatrists in Slovenia comprehend and diagnose it. I surveyed hospital lists of 102 patients (from four Slovenian psychiatric hospitals), in which I found at least one diagnosis of BPD (or one of its variants) in their hospitalisations. I also carried out an inquiry among 70 Slovenian psychiatrists (41.6% of those whom I sent the questionnaire) on their opinion of BPD. Because of the multidimensionality of BPD, patients with BPD usually get several other diagnoses in the course of their ilness. Most of these diagnoses were from the field of psychoses, substance abuse and depression. The percentage of psychoses was especially high among diagnoses, set up after the diagnosis of BPD, which points to the direction, in which BPD often develops. There are two more facts that point to the close connection between BPD and psychoses: - acute psychosis was more frequently among the reasons for hospitalization with BPD than with psychoses; - during the time of using ICD-9, which did not have the possibility of diagnosing BPD as an independent personality disorder with the undertype MOM (F 60.3), it was most frequently classified as a psychotic state, caused by recent traumatic events.
