Abstract
26 adolescents showing Borderline Personality Disorder were compared w ith 12 carrying other diagnoses to clarify associated features of thes e conditions. In Line with recent literature, the borderline adolescen ts evidenced significant depression and dissociation, suggesting the i mportance of evaluating instability of mood (versus thinking) and weak continuity in self-experience when identifying and treating this diso rder.
