Abstract
Hearing children raised by deaf-mute parents suffer severe communication problems with their environment from birth. Later, feelings of alienation may ensue. Such conditions may influence the personality of offspring of deaf-mute people. A detailed representative case report of a patient with borderline personality was reported. The patient was a daughter of a typical deaf-mute couple. Her main characteristics and mechanisms of adaptation to factors in her early childhood were described.
