The thesis is structured as a systematic review of the literature concerning the arguments concerning intervention strategies adopted by nurses to work with patients with Borderline Personality Disorder.
The objective proposed is to understand how nurses can relate, act and react with a patient who arrives with a discomfort of Borderline personality disorder, in a context of Psychiatric Service of Diagnosis and Treatment.
In the first chapter was developed purely medical point of view, what is the definition adopted by the DSM-IV-TR for framing and disorder diagnostic criteria that psychiatrists make the diagnosis.
In the second chapter it is emphasised, as an important starting point, on the ability of nurses to know accept, without prejudice, the borderline patient as person who brings with him the discomfort and lived, and on its ability to enter in relation with this type of patients.
In this chapter, then, have been described:
-what strategies for action take the nurse in the relationship with the patient;
-what mechanisms of defense the patient puts in place to protect themselves from the multitude of emotions that do not have their own size;
-as the nurse has the ability to recognize those mechanisms and, therefore, how to manage them.
In the third chapter, in conclusion, thesis counselor profession and other relevant figures in the report, as a proposal of support and support for health professionals within the Psychiatric Diagnosis and Treatment Service.
This my observation stems from the awareness of the difficulty that nurses and some professionals may encounter when they enter in connection with patients with Borderline Personality Disorder.
