Evidence regarding the diagnostic dilemmas, course, co-morbidity, and aetiology of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is reviewed.

Emerging dilemmas in considering co-morbidity in the BPD patient are considered. Aetiological factors are presented in support of a ‘multiple pathways’ model of aetiology where characterological and temperamental characteristics interact in complex idiosyncratic ways
