Abstract

Borderline personality disorder and substance use disorders are two forms of psychological problems that are often diagnosed within the same person. As those people sometimes remain highly stigmatized and largely neglected, and at the same time pose a major public health problem, we decided to focus on this co-morbidity by using developmental psychopathology perspective. The aim of the paper was to present this co-occurrence, explore some of the common risk and protective factors and offer an approach that could be used for preventing both disorders. Potential relatedness of concept of risk and protecting factors, attachment, developmental cascades and preventive intervention was explained by the sequential causal model.
