title: [Borderline personality disorder: a comparative study between the clinical diagnosis and the Rorschach test].
abstract: Diagnostic concordance among Rorschach Test, clinical approach and DSM-III-R criteria for BPD is studied in an inpatient sample. A low degree of concordance among the three diagnostic systems was found. Two among 8 DSM-III-R criteria (physically self-damaging acts, and unstable-intense relationships) were the most discriminating symptoms for diagnosing BPD. The importance of considering the diagnostic efficiency of each DSM-III-R criterion is discussed. The most frequent concurrent diagnosis along with BPD were: Affective, and psychotic disorders. Their relationship is analyzed.
