The borderline and narcissistic personality disorders are important nosographic entities and have been subject of intensive investigation. The currently prevailing psychodynamic theory for mental disorders is based on the repertoire of defense mechanisms employed. Another fruitful line of research is concerned with the study of psychological traumas and with dissociation as a defensive response. Both theories can be used to shed light on some aspects of pathological mental functioning, and have many points of contact. This work starts from a model of emotional behaviour, inspired by an approach derived from the field of artificial intelligence, and based on neural networks. The model is then used to overcome the dichotomy between the two aforementioned psychological theories, and conceive a common framework for the description of personality disorders.
