Abstract

This article delves into fundamental themes within Margaret Mahler's separation-individuation theory, placing particular emphasis on the rapprochement phase. It illustrates how these themes are crucial for comprehending and effectively managing inpatients grappling with borderline personality disorder. Mahler's conceptual framework offers valuable insights for caregivers and staff, equipping them to navigate the clinical and emotional complexities inherent in the treatment of this distinct patient population during their stay in psychiatric wards.
