In this paper, I critique recent perspectives that have reified the concept of ''borderline personality disorder'' by defining and defending it in illogical, unethical, and unscientific ways. I then draw attention to alternative perspectives that illustrate how disorders of ''personality'' can be better understood as disorders of ''relating'', addressing illogical, unethical, and unscientific ways of viewing ''borderline personality.''
