Abstract: Although sympathetic to most analytic conceptions of the origins of borderline personalitity disorder, an addendum reflecting the recent and divisive impact of rapid social and cultural changes is proposed. Specifically noted are social customs that exacerbate rather than remediate early errant parent-child relationships and the diminished power of once reparative institutions that no longer compensate for these ubiquitous early problems.
