A Borderline Policeman: AKA, A Cop With No COP

Abstract

Lest the Rorschach partisan engage in splitting and deem one approach to clinical data as all good and the other as all bad, it is urged that atheoretical, nomothetic and theory-saturated, developmentally based, idiographic approaches be integrated to animate, enrich, and organize the mature psychodiagnostician's yield. This approach is illustrated by exploring the borderline personality organization of a 46-year-old police officer fearing fragmentation and loss of control.
