Abstract

Chronic sexual abuse in childhood can be directly associated with the formation of personality disorders such as BPD, with the majority of this abuse occurring in the family context. The objective of this article is to reference the importance of clinical and psychotherapeutic intervention from a systemic approach, prioritizing the analysis of interpersonal relationships, behavioral patterns repeated during the patient’s history and the adaptation of family roles learned during childhood to adulthood, obtaining extremely positive results in terms of remission of symptoms and general recovery of the patient.
