Lets start with Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline personality disorder is a very broad category whose essential feature is instability in a variety of personality areas, including interpersonal relationships, behavior, mood, and self-image. These areas are not necessarily related and, indeed, are themselves so broad that people with quite different problems are likely to be considered for this diagnosis.
Such is the case with codependency...
Clearly, any diagnosis that is so broad and potentially inclusive runs the risk of becoming a "kitchen sink" diagnosis. In order to increase the validity of the borderline diagnosis, as well as limit its use to a restricted range of people,
DSM-III requires that evidence for at least five of the following problems be present before the diagnosis can be made:
• Impulsivity or unpredictability in at least two potentially self-damaging areas, such as sex, gambling, drug or alcohol use, shoplifting, overeating and physical self-damage.
• A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships marked
by shifts of attitude, idealization, devaluation, or manipulation of others for
one's own ends.
· Lack of control over anger.
• Identity problems, denoted by uncertainty about such matters as self-image,
gender identity, long-term goals or career choice, friendship patterns,
values, and loyalties.
· Affective instability, which involves marked shifts from normal mood
to depression, irritability, or anxiety.
• Difficulty being alone, including frantic efforts to avoid being alone.
· Physically self-damaging acts, including suicidal gestures, self-mutilation,
recurrent "accidents," or physical fights.
• Chronic feelings of emptiness and boredom.
There is no information about the prevalence of the disorder, nor about
the factors that predispose one to it. However, even with the qualifying requirements that were indicated above, one senses that it is probably a relatively widely used diagnosis.
Separating Borderline from Codependency takes an understanding of Growth and Development in adolescents (Ages 9 to 14 Years).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Emotional and social development in adolescents
As children start to move from childhood into adulthood, adolescents feel the urge to be more independent from their families. Often, friends replace parents as a source of advice. When at home, adolescents may prefer spending time alone to being part of the family. Still, family support is important to help them build a strong sense of self.
Arrested in psychological development
With out this support or in the case of trauma during this time period an adolescent can become arrested in psychological development. The symptoms of arrested in psychological development include borderline, codependency, narcissism, avoidant and addiction as adults.
What is Arrested Psychological Development?
APD is being ‘stuck’ in an emotional level of development. Depending on the timing of trauma (childhood, adolescent or teen) determines the symptoms of Arrested Psychological Development. Each developmental stage influences how the latter adult will experience the effects of arrested development psychologically/emotionally.
Arrested Psychological Development ages 9-14 symptoms in adulthood:
Symptoms may include borderline, codependency, narcissism, avoidant and addiction.
WHAT IS CODEPENDENCY?
Codependency is defined as a psychological condition or a relationship in which a person is controlled or manipulated by another who is affected with a pathological condition (typically narcissism or drug addiction); and in broader terms, it refers to the dependence on the needs of, or control by, another. It also often involves placing a lower priority on one's own needs, while being excessively preoccupied with the needs of others. Codependency can occur in any type of relationship, including family, work, friendship, and also romantic, peer or community relationships. Codependency may also be characterized by denial, low self-esteem, excessive compliance, or control patterns. Narcissists are considered to be natural magnets for the codependent.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Codependents may,
1. Think and feel responsible for other people---for other people's feelings, thoughts, actions, choices, wants, needs, well-being, lack of well-being, and ultimate destiny.
2. Feel anxiety, pity, and guilt when other people have a problem.
3. Feel compelled --almost forced -- to help that person solve the problem, such as offering unwanted advice, giving a rapid-fire series of suggestions, or fixing feelings.
4. Feel angry when their help isn't effective.
5. Anticipate other people's needs
6. Wonder why others don't do the same for them.
7. Don't really want to be doing, doing more than their fair share of the work, and doing things other people are capable of doing for themselves.
8. Not knowing what they want and need, or if they do, tell themselves what they want and need is not important.
9. Try to please others instead of themselves.
10. Find it easier to feel and express anger about injustices done to others rather than injustices done to themselves.
11. Feel safest when giving.
12. Feel insecure and guilty when somebody gives to them.
13. Feel sad because they spend their whole lives giving to other people and nobody gives to them.
14. Find themselves attracted to needy people.
15. Find needy people attracted to them.
16. Feel bored, empty, and worthless if they don't have a crisis in their lives, a problem to solve, or someone to help.
17. Abandon their routine to respond to or do something for somebody else.
18. Over commit themselves.
19. Feel harried and pressured.
20. Believe deep inside other people are somehow responsible for them.
21. Blame others for the spot the codependents are in.
22. Say other people make the codependents feel the way they do.
23. Believe other people are making them crazy.
24. Feel angry, victimized, unappreciated, and used.
25. Find other people become impatient or angry with them for all of the preceding characteristics.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lack of emotional intelligence is the root cause of many issues including Borderline and Codependency.
Emotional intelligence is a character trait or ability, like melodic talent, that is reflected in the populace. A few people have a remarkable amount or essentially none, while the rest fall somewhere in between. Lack of emotional intelligence does not automatically turn someone into a borderline, without empathy, remorse, love or honesty. Borderline do seem to be disconnected from some emotions, especially those that are positive toward humankind. But there are plenty of emotions dwelling within them, such as pleasure, disdain, irritation and jealousy. Furthermore, borderlines often excel at interpreting the emotions of people. This is what makes them experts at manipulating others' behaviors…
LOVE ADDICTION can run together with Codependency…
Love addiction is a human behavior in which people become addicted to the feeling of being in love. Love addicts can take on many different behaviors. Love addiction is common; however, most love addicts do not realize they are addicted to love. Love addiction can be treated with various recovery techniques, most of which are similar to recovery from other addictions such as sex addiction and alcoholism, through group meetings and support groups. Addictive love is an inclusive term in that it includes "addicts" and "co-addicts", "co-dependents", "emotional anorectics", and "love avoidants".
WHAT IS AVOIDANT?
Avoidant Personality Disorder: Avoidant personality disorder is characterized by feelings of extreme social inhibition, inadequacy, and sensitivity to negative criticism and rejection. Yet the symptoms involve more than simply being shy or socially awkward.

THE LIBERATOR METHOD
Notes:
A sense of how it might be applied is given in the following case:
Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938).
Thomas Wolfe was a writer whose first work was published in 1929 and who
died less than ten years later, before he was forty. In that brief decade, he was a literary
sensation, hailed by the greatest novelists of his time. He was enormously
productive and driven. And he was painfully unhappy. Wolfe was described as
nervous, surly, suspicious, given to brooding, to drinking, to violent outbursts,
and sometimes even to fears that he was going mad. He was rude and dislikable.
He said of himself that he was afraid of people and that he sometimes concealed
his fear by being arrogant and by sneering magnificently.
It was hard for him to begin writing on any particular day, but once he began it
was harder still for him to stop. The words would simply pour out of him. He
would sleep late, gulp down cup after cup of black coffee, smoke innumerable cigarettes,
pace up and down-and write endlessly. He would scrawl down the words
on sheet after sheet of yellow paper, so hastily and hugely that the pages often
contained only twenty words apiece, and those in abbreviated scrawl. At night, he
would prowl the streets, drinking heavily, or spending hours in a phone booth,
calling friends, and accusing them of having betrayed him. The next day, overcome
with remorse, he would call again and apologize.
For all his writing, he had difficulty putting together a second book after Look
Homeward Angel. Although he had written a million words, ten times that of an
average novel, it still was not a book. He was fortunate to have as his editor Maxwell
Perkins, who had discovered his talent and who cared to nurture it. Wolfe
wrote: "I was sustained by one piece of inestimable good fortune. I had for a friend
a man of immense wisdom and a gentle but unyielding fortitude. I think that if!
was not destroyed at this time by the sense of hopelessness ... it was largely because
of ... Perkins.... I did not give in because he would not let me give in."
Perkins recognized that Wolfe was a driven man, and feared that he would suffer
either a psychological or physical break-down, or both. He proposed to Wolfe that,
having written a million words, his work was finished: it only remained for both of
them to sit down and make a book out of his effort.
That collaboration was difficult. A million words do not automatically make a
book. Wolfe was reluctant to cut. Most of the editing, therefore, fell to Perkins.
And as Perkins slowly made a book out of Wolfe's words, Wolfe's resentment of
Perkins increased. The work was not perfect, Wolfe felt. And it upset him to bring
forth a book that did not meet his standards.
Until the book was published, Wolfe believed it would be a colossal failure. The
Reviews were magnificent, however. But although Wolfe was at first heartened by
the reviews, he gradually began to feel again that the book was less than perfect, a
matter for which he held Perkins responsible. His relationship with Perkins deteriorated.
He became suspicious, even paranoid. Yet, apart from Perkins, he had no
close friends. He became increasingly unpredictable, yielding easily to incensed
anger, unable to control it. Ultimately, he broke with Perkins. Rosenthal (1979)
has suggested that Wolfe's emotional liability, his inability to control his anger,
the difficulties he had in being alone, his many self-damaging acts, as well as his
identity problems point to the diagnosis of a borderline personality disorder. At
the. same time, Wolfe also had personality features that were consistent with the
schizotypal personality disorder, especially his ideas of reference that made him so
suspicious and paranoid.
