According to Gunderson, a person with BPD thinks the perfect (ideal) relationship will solve their problems. This causes a painful, cyclical high-low relationship drama which plays out again and again throughout the person's life.

John Gunderson, a major force in the BPD world and the person who originally defined the diagnosis, discusses Borderline Personality Disorder from the viewpoint of a researcher and clinician.
