Borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder are important nosographic entities and have been subject of intensive investigations. The currently prevailing psycodynamic 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 on 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 tries to merge these two psychological theories, and conceive a common framework for the description of personality disorders.
