The well-known Jungian analyst, Dr. Nathan Schwartz-Salant, explores the specifics of the therapist’s interaction with the «borderline personality». Such patients are impulsive, anxious, it is difficult for them to control their actions. Their moods are often changeable, and perceptions have little connection with reality. But at the same time, such a patient has a special insight and, communicating with the therapist, “often sees more than the therapist himself knows about himself. That is, often the patient is aware of moments when the therapist is, in fact, lying.” Working with the «borderline» requires not only special training, but also personal courage — in order to maintain trust, the therapist must be ready to face the frightening sides of his own unconscious.
