Résumé : The purpose of this case study is to illustrate how attachment theory can help us lead to a therapeutic hospitalization of a borderline adolescent. We describe the borderline psychopathology during adolescence followed by its relationship to attachment disorders, one of major etiologies most specific to borderline disorder. We then go over the clinical situation of Alice relying on attachment theories so that the stay is containing and enables a good excitation barrier system. This guides us towards a therapeutic project avoiding banalisation and symptomatic outbidding. © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.
