ABSTRACT
Many of those who have personhood disorders often wish for godhood, which gets them off the track of being themselves. When certain individuals diagnose and begin treating other individuals with mental disorders, they must remember not to place themselves on the "normal" side. Everyone is bad, without much difference. In discussing the history of personhood disorders, there is another stream worth considering – the study of the borderline case. Thus, the author's definition of the borderline case is "people not at the psychotic level (and without organic psychosis, of course) who act out." We live with various kinds of pathology. It is not unusual for this "pathology" to shape our life goals in a manner that leads us to higher possibilities. People in the borderline state need to control themselves and make it through the moment – especially when they are stressed out. This is what a psychotherapist helps support.
