MARTINEZ RODRIGUEZ, José Manuel  and  MARTIN CABRERO, Beatriz. Relational psychotherapy of borderline personality disorder: II. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2015, vol.35, n.127, pp.587-606. ISSN 2340-2733.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0211-57352015000300010.

The current article is the second part of two devoted to relational psychotherapy in borderline personality disorders. The relational methods of treatment are described and also different dimensions of therapeutic relationship that help to reintegrate split or dissociated fragments of personality, among others therapist involvement, attunement to the patient, multidimensional inquiry and a relational approach to transferential and countertransferential reactions. The goal or treatment is to repair deficits of self experience, to improve emotional regulation, to establish affective relationships and to reduce impulsiveness by means of integration of the split relational system of the patient.

Keywords : Borderline personality disorder; Psychotherapy; Relational psychotherapy; Transactional analysis; Integrative psychotherapy; Relational psychoanalysis.
