ESCOBAR, María Josefina; SANTELICES, María Pía  and  ELIZALDE, Gloria Peláez. Psicoterapia basada en la Mentalización como tratamiento para Trastornos de Personalidad Borderline: Revisión teórica de los postulados de Fonagy. Summa psicol. UST (En línea) [online]. 2013, vol.10, n.1, pp. 155-160. ISSN 0718-0446.

This article is a theoretical review of the principles of Peter Fonagy about borderline personality disorder (BPD) and its proposed approach through the mentalization-based psychotherapy. From the review it is concluded that the proposed model for understanding the development of TPB and guidelines for psychotherapeutic interventions, are both a key contribution to the management of these patients. The same model and guidelines have proven empirically to be effective in reducing suicide risk and self-harm behaviors; which are the more severe symptoms of the disorder.
