The so‐called “borderline cases” are classified nowadays into Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or Schizotypal Personality Disorder (SPD) according to DSM‐III‐R. We discussed them as follows: The common pathology to them is their imaginary relationship to the object of identification. The difference between them is the distance from patients to their object. After presenting a case who is situated midway between the borderline case and neurosis, the pathology of borderline case can be described as a failure of repression. After classifying borderline cases in Japan into hysterical borderline or obsessional borderline, their relationship to hysterical neurosis and to obsessional neurosis are respectively discussed.
