[Aspects of object relations in borderline and neurotic patients: an empirical study using the Holtzman Inkblot technic].
In the present study hospitalized borderline and neurotic patients were compared concerning certain aspects of object relations. The diagnosis of a borderline disorder was given on the basis of the "Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines" (Gunderson u. Kolb 1978). Certain aspects of object relations were assessed by applying the 7-point scale developed by Urist (1977) to responses in the Holtzman Inkblot Technique. According to the results the two diagnostic groups differ with regard to 5 of the 7 scale levels which are connected with the following interpersonal themes: Being supplied and guided; controlling; sucking out, devouring and damaging; engulfing and overwhelming. The results are interpreted referring to object relation theory. Furthermore hit rates were assessed on the basis of the Urist scale data with relatively good results for sensitivity and specifity.
