Abstract
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a prevalent mental-health problem among adolescents and young adults, predominantly affecting women. Frequently this disorder is accompanied by self-injuring or auto-aggressive behaviour. In the majority of cases, psychic or physical trauma is determined as being the aetiological factors. This condition is illustrated in the case study of a fifteen-year-old female patient suffering from BPD; a single dose of Belladonna C 200 helped her substantially. Trying to find a remedy for the patient in this case, the method of Polarity Analysis was implemented. Polarity Analysis is an advancement of Boenninghausen's concept of contraindications. It includes the calculation of a probability of healing for any remedy that has to be evaluated by differential diagnosis, with the help of polar symptoms (i.e. symptoms which may be contradictory, e.g. worse cold/better cold). This method can enhance the accuracy of homeopathic prescribing considerably. In this case, which otherwise would typically require a long lasting psychotherapy, diffusion of the deep psychic crisis was achieved by means of implementing this unconventional approach.
