Abstract
During the last decade, the effectiveness of two therapeutic schools, i.e. psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral ones, was mostly analyzed in relation to borderline personality disorder (BPD). Leichsenring’s and Leibing’s meta-analyses indicated that both concepts are able to prove clear therapeutic effects and improve the functioning, as well as allow to change patterns of the borderline behavior. However, it should be kept in mind, that psychodynamic techniques may result in some adverse consequences because of internal incoherence of BPD patients. The integrative psychotherapeutic school can bring maximum benefits for patients, as well as facilitate the work of therapists. In a case of BPD, the comfort of the therapist is also extremely important, as strong countertransference reactions may in fact cause harm for both patients and therapists.
