EMDR用于边缘型人格障碍的治疗

边缘型人格障碍（BPD）患者通常有显著的功能行使能力损害。其特征是冲动、情绪不稳、人际困难和身份认同问题,常常导致自杀行为和自杀姿态。虽然传统上认为BPD是一种慢性持久的障碍,但近期的研究却提示它可能会随着时间流逝而有所缓解,而且心理治疗可以促进缓解。BPD的病因与童年期虐待和不恰当的依恋关系有关。由于童年期虐待和创伤的重要意义,被公认有效的创伤治疗方法——眼动脱敏与再加工（EMDR）可能作为BPD的合理备选治疗方案之一。本文中的个案所获得的良好疗效阐明了EMDR在BPD治疗中的运用,提示有理由进行深入的对照研究。

EMDR in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder

Individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder（BPD） usually experience significant impairment in their ability to function.Impulsivity,affect instability,interpersonal difficulties,and identity problems are hallmark features of this disorder,frequently leading to suicidal and para-suicidal behaviors.Although BPD has traditionally been considered chronic and enduring,recent research has indicated that it can remit over time and that psychotherapy can accelerate this process.The etiology of BPD has been associated with childhood abuse and inadequate attachment.Given the significance of childhood abuse and trauma,eye movement desensitization and reprocessing（EMDR）,a recognized trauma therapy,may be a reasonable treatment option for BPD.The positive effects noted in the following case illustrate EMDR＇s utility in the treatment of BPD and indicate that further controlled studies are warranted.
