抄録

The aim of this paper was to discuss effective approaches to patients with borderline personality disorders(BPD) in a day care.A review of the literature on day care activities for patients with BPD indicated that a day care is an useful therapeutic setting for patients with BPD without causing the ego regression. Furthermore, it suggested that a day care for patients with BPD should hold and contain their regression while limiting their regressive potential by limit setting and structuring the day program. A review of empirical reports on effect of day care for patients with BPD showed that a day care could facilitate BPD’ psychological adaptation, not social adaptation. Based on former studies, the ways of dealing with their self-destructive behavior and splits among stuff members in the treatment of patients with BPD were introduced. Finally, this paper proposed further problems to be considered on the day care for patients with BPD.
