The aim of this research is to validate the validity of the IPO, 83 items, in Argentine populations. The IPO is an instrument which was designed to operationalize Otto Kernberg’s ideas concerning borderline personality organization (BPO) diagnosis (Lezenweger, M. et al. 2001). The IPO is a multidimensional research tool which is used to differentiate dimensions of personality organization. For Otto Kernberg, primitive defenses, identity diffusion and distortions in the relation with reality are common disturbances in BPO, and they became the three specific variables used for the structural diagnosis (Kernberg, O, 1984). The IPO was validated previously into Spanish but onto 155 items format (Avila Espada, A. et al. 2000), and this 155 items format was also adapted into an Argentinean version (Quiroga, S. et al. 2003). As a consequence of several reviews that took place, in 2001 the IPO was modified into a shorter version, with an 83-item questionnaire. It is still used to explore five main dimensions of the psychic level of functioning: primitive defenses (PD), identity diffusion (ID), reality testing (RT), aggression (A) and moral values (MV).The IPO 83 items was translated into Spanish by Humberto Persano under Otto Kernberg supervision (Persano, H. 2002) under IPA grant for a broader research on defense mechanisms. The IPO was validated and adapted in different countries: Chilean version (Ben-Dov, P. et al. 2002), Dutch version (Berghuis, J. et al. 2009), Japanese version (Brazilian version (Silva de Oliveira, S.E. et al. 2011), German version (Dammann, G et al. 2012) and also there are European Portuguese and Italian versions unpublished. For validation purpose in Argentine a comparison study was designed in order to test the strength of the IPO in differentiating between clinical and non-clinical samples. =&.4$'2!! The five dimensions of the IPO were tested in this trial to compare two groups: non-clinical and clinical sample. The aim of the present study was to apply the IPO on a large sample of university students. The IPO was administrated to students from different universities and regions of Argentine, and to compare this non-clinical sample with a BPD clinical sample. The clinical sample was recruited from both inpatients and outpatients sample which fulfill BPD diagnosis according to DSM-IV TR.
