Difficulties associated with emotional instability are frequent in adolescence, and the diagnosis of personality disorders at this age is becoming common. The importance of this group of patients is evident, when we consider that this disorder was present in up to 76 % of adolescents who sought care for suicidal ideation. Family environment plays a role in the pathogenesis of emotionally unstable personality disorder, while on the other hand, relatives are also significantly affected by this disorder. There are several therapeutic procedures that have been adapted for emotionally unstable adolescents and show effectiveness in their treatment. Family involvement in the treatment is essential. This article explores the role of the family and the possibilities of involvement of family members of emotionally unstable adolescents in their treatment

Keywords: emotionally­‑unstable personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, adolescents, family, psychotherapy.
