The basic diagnostic criteria of the borderline (borderline) personality organization are defined as identity disintegration, disruptions in the ability to assess the existence of primary defence mechanisms and truth and self weakness. This study describes how a 21-year-old female consultant, which meets the basic diagnosis criteria of Kernberg’s borderline (borderline) personality organization, is treated within the framework of the theory of object relationships. With the consultant, a total of sixteen sessions were held in the supervision process within the framework of a university's doctoral program in clinical psychology. According to the theory of object relationships, the experiences gained by the interaction between the inner world and the real world leave traces in memory in three fields: self, object (the other) and the feeling of the relationship (afect). After the case story of the consultant was presented in the study, the case formulation was made in the framework of the theory of object relationships. In the process of psychotherapy, the goal of understanding the object relationships of the counselor with a borderline (borderline) personality organization is to develop an integrated self and other representation. In this context, a healthy object relationship with the therapist has been developed. In this article, the psychotherapy process is interpreted by a consultant with a borderline personality organization in the framework of the theory of object relationships.
