Abstract

Patients diagnosed with borderline personality and substance abuse disorders represent a challenge for specifi c treatment centers. These patients tend to experience diffi culties in substance or alcohol abuse programs due to their frequent interpersonal problems and their addiction patterns, which do not fi t into a standard pattern of substance abuse or dependence. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, oriented toward the treatment of the experiences that originate both disorders, allows an integrated approach of both problems. EMDR is a psychotherapy that addresses early trauma and dysfunctional attachment experiences, which are highly prevalent both in BPD and substance abuse disorders. We will illustrate a possible treatment plan from the EMDR perspective through a case example.
