‘청소년기 경계선 장애’의 치료는 전반적으로 모든 정신과 질환을 치료할 때와 마찬가지로 각 경우마다 다르게 접근해야 할 것이다. 즉, 환자개인의 독특한 역동과 성격구조를 바탕으로 개인적으로 치료접근을 모색하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나, 어느정도의 기본이 될만한 것이 있다면 다음과 같다. 우선 청소년기의 심리를 이해함에 있어서 그들이 ‘제2의 개체화 시기’라는 점을 알아 사춘기의 신체적 변화에 따른 성신내적 상태의 변화, 특히 성동력 및 공격성 동력의 항진을 염두해 두어야 할 것이다. 또한, 청소년기의 심리를 바탕으로 경계선 장애의 특징인 비교적 ‘약화된 자아’와 ‘주체성의 상실’을 치료자와의 전이 관계를 통해 적절히 이해하고 다루는 것이 필요하다. 실제적으로는 치료의 중립성을 바탕으로 하는 분석치료보다는 어느정도의 지지를 동반한 ‘분석적지지요법’(analytic supportive psychotherapy)가 효과적이라고 할 것이다.

Recently, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) was given the status of an approved form of psychotherapy for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. However, its effectiveness in the treatment of other anxiety disorders such as phobia is yet to be determined given that controlled studies have provided mixed results. This report summarizes the case of a child with a specific phobia (i.e. nighttime fear) which was successfully treated with two sessions of EMDR. This result suggests the further and thorough evaluation of this technique for use in childhood phobic disorders.
