The shape of one’s personality gets crystallized during this phase and the environmental factor is an important contributor to this process. Individuals’ immediate environment is family where parental influence evidently plays a major role in his or her development. Besides the patterns of child rearing practices, individuals’ perception of relationship with their parents is worthy of research and it is a two-way procedure. Based on the premise of parental influence on adolescents the present study explored the difference between adolescents with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and normal healthy control with respect to parent- child relationship. Method and Material- Twenty subjects in each group were purposively selected for exploration. Based on certain parameters like age, gender, marital status, education and socioeconomic status of family, clinical subjects was screened by using Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory. Those clients who met the criteria for borderline personality disorder were taken into the clinical group. The control group of healthy subjects was screened by using the Symptom Checklist 90.

The clients responded across both domains of relationship with father and relationship with mother. Then the data were statistically analyzed by SPSS software. Result- Significant differences were found across several positive as well as negative dimensions
