Résumé
Le trouble de personnalité limite (TPL) est une psychopathologie sévère dont les précurseurs remontent à l’enfance. À partir de cette prémisse, l’objectif de cet article est de présenter la controverse qui entoure la présence, dès l’enfance, de traits de personnalité pathologiques reliés au TPL. En effet, bien que le DSM-IV-TR (APA, 2003) déconseille le diagnostic de TPL chez les enfants, d’autres outils diagnostiques soulignent que des traits inadaptés peuvent effectivement être identifiés précocement. Par ailleurs, plusieurs auteurs appuient l’hypothèse selon laquelle le développement des enfants serait compromis par la présence de traits de TPL, faisant d’eux des enfants borderline en devenir. Devant la perspective que les traits inadaptés de l’enfance se maintiennent à l’adolescence et à l’âge adulte, l’article souligne le besoin indispensable de développer des instruments de mesure dimensionnels permettant d’identifier les enfants à risque afin de favoriser les interventions précoces et de renverser le processus développemental pathologique en cours.

Abstract
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe psychopathological condition whose antecedents occur in childhood. Based on this premise, the article aims to examine the debate surrounding the identification of childhood pathological personality traits associated with BPD. Notably, the DSM-IV-TR (APA, 2003) advises against childhood diagnosis of BPD. However, other diagnostic manuals allow for the identification of maladjusted personality traits in children and several researchers support the hypothesis that childhood development is compromised by the presence of BPD features, implying that a child exhibiting such traits could be considered a borderline-child-to-be. Given that maladjusted personality traits identified in childhood intensify throughout adolescence and into adulthood, this article emphasizes the imperative need to develop dimensional measures that allow for the identification of high-risk children in order to facilitate early interventions with the aim of counteracting pathological developmental processes.
