Análise fenomenológica do transtorno de personalidade borderline à luz de Thomas Fuchs

Abstract

Borderline Personality Disorder has been documented in the scientific literature under different nomenclatures since the late 19th century and has undergone various revisions of its main characteristics up to the present day. My aim with the following work is to structure part of Thomas Fuchs' contributions to phenomenological psychopathology and to critically engage with the DSM-V's proposal for standardizing diagnostic criteria. In a second moment, a reading of Borderline Personality Disorder will be presented in light of Thomas Fuchs' contributions, the DSM-V, and incorporating some of my practical experience in providing psychological support to individuals with a diagnostic hypothesis or diagnosed with the disorder. Descriptions, some critiques, and proposals for clinical practice will be made.
