Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Health Topics ESPAÑOL Borderline personality disorder Borderline personality disorder is a condition in which a person makes impulsive actions, and has an unstable mood and chaotic relationships. Causes Personality disorders are long-term (chronic) patterns of behavior that negatively affect relationships and work. The cause of borderline personality disorder (BPD) is unknown. People with BPD are impulsive in areas that have a potential for self-harm, such as drug use, drinking, and other risk-taking behaviors. Risk factors for BPD include: Abandonment in childhood or adolescence Disrupted family life Poor communication in the family Sexual abuse This personality disorder tends to occur more often in women and among hospitalized psychiatric patients. Symptoms Relationships with others are intense and unstable. They swing wildly from love to hate and back again. People with BPD will frantically try to avoid real or imagined abandonment. BPD patients may also be uncertain about their identity or self-image. They tend to see things in terms of extremes, either all good or all bad. They also typically view themselves as victims of circumstance and take little responsibility for themselves or their problems.

46. The Behavioral Treatment Of Self-mutilation Research paper on treating parasuicidal behavior, as a borderline personality disorder, with Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Includes references. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya/2001JanMar/att-0235/01-DBT.html

THE BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT OF SELF-MUTILATION World Association for Social Psychiatry, Vancouver B.C., Canada. Milton Brown University of Washington Address correspondence to: Milton Brown Department of Psychology, Box 351525 University of Washington Seattle, WA 98195-1525 mibrown@u.washington.edu parasuicide (Kreitman, 1977). Self-mutilation is an especially prevalent and chronic problem among those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). BPD is a chronic debilitating disorder that is characterized by pervasive dysfunctions in emotions, behavior, and cognition. More BPD individuals engage in self-mutilation and attempt suicide than other diagnostic groups ( Although behavior therapy has been used for many years to treat many different psychological disorders, it has only recently been applied to the treatment of self-mutilation. Several studies suggest that cognitive behavior therapy can reduce suicide attempts, but I could locate only two randomized controlled treatment studies that may be relevant to self-mutilation. Linehan et al. (1991) found Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to be effective in reducing parasuicidal behaviors overall. The results of another study suggest that a manual-assisted short-term cognitive behavior therapy may reduce parasuicide (Evans et al., 1999). Neither study, however, reported outcomes specifically for self-mutilation. This paper will present a behavioral conceptualization of parasuicide based on Linehan's biosocial theory of BPD (1993). Next, behavioral treatment strategies will be reviewed that are used to treat parasuicidal behaviors in DBT, a comprehensive treatment for BPD and parasuicidal behaviors based on this biosocial theory and social learning theory (Linehan, 1993). Although this paper will focus on self-mutilation, the etiology and treatment of both forms of parasuicide will be discussed. Although self-mutilation and suicidality are not the same, these two forms of parasuicide often co-occur in BPD, and it is likely that reducing the vulnerability to one can also lead to improvements in the other.

SEARCH Advanced Search Adjustment Disorder Anger Anorexia Nervosa ... Effective Treatment Borderline Personality Disorder WHAT IS BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER? Borderline personality disorder is characterized by emotion dysregulation, meaning quick, frequent, and painful mood swings that are beyond the control of the person with the problem. People struggling with this problem have great difficulty forming and maintaining relationships. They also experience problems controlling their own spontaneous and reckless behaviors and often have a fluctuating idea about who they are. The overall theme for this disorder is rapid and unpredictable changes in a person’s thoughts, moods, behaviors, relationships, and beliefs. Very often, these rapid changes are caused by recurring fears of being criticized or deserted by other people, or they are triggered by actions of other people that feel like criticism, such as small disagreements or changes in plans. In response to these types of situations, a person with borderline personality disorder can suddenly become very sad, nervous, angry, or short-tempered. The person might also practice self-harming behaviors, like cutting himself or herself, or engage in suicidal acts. Unfortunately, personality styles like this often create problems in a person’s relationships, job, and other social situations, which is why they’re referred to as personality disorders.

This can take many forms including self-destructive behavior, transient psychotic episodes, emotional and verbal abuse of others, splitting (see below), magical thinking (beliefs that thoughts can cause events), omnipotence projection of unpleasant characteristics in the self onto others and projective identification (trying to elicit in others the feelings s/he is having). The etiology of BPD is still unknown. Some believe it to be a true personality disorder caused by childhood trauma, however current research is showing that it is may be a highly genetic, physical brain disorder. Evidence is showing that the hippocampus , a crucial limbic system component, suffers a significant size reduction in people with BPD. This may partly explain the memory problems associated with BPD, since the hippocampus is a critical location for memory. Some new statistics BPD affects one in 50 people and one in five of those people are admitted to psychiatric units in the U.S. One in every 10 people with BPD will die by

Borderline Personality Disorder What is Borderline Personality Disorder? Quick Summary: Borderline personality disorder is characterized by mood instability and poor self-image. People with this disorder are prone to constant mood swings and bouts of anger. Often, they will take their anger out on themselves, causing injury to their own body. Suicidal threats and actions are not uncommon. Borderlines think in very black and white terms and often form intense, conflict-ridden relationships. They are quick to anger when their expectations are not met. Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder: Self-injury or attempted suicide Strong feelings of anger, anxiety, or depression that last for several hours Impulsive behavior Drug or alcohol abuse Feelings of low self-worth Unstable relationships with friends, family, and boyfriends/girlfriends Additional Information: Borderline personality disorder was so-named because it was originally thought to be at the "borderline" of psychosis. The disorder is relatively common, affecting 2% of adults. Women are much more likely to suffer borderline than men. Nearly 20% of psychiatric hospitalizations are due to borderline. With treatment, patients are often able to see their symptoms improve. Treatment involves therapy in which the patient learns to talk through his or her feelings rather than unleashing them in destructive and self-defeating ways. Medication may be helpful, and treatment of any alcohol or substance abuse issues is required. Brief hospitalization is sometimes required, especially in cases involving psychotic episodes or suicide threats or attempts.

McMan's Depression and Bipolar Web Home Mood DSM-5 Behavior ... Behavior Borderline Personality Disorder A mood disorder may be the least of your problems. by John McManamy In 2005, I joined the board as an officer in a state mood disorder patients group. There, I came across behavior I could not ascribe to bipolar disorder – extremely abusive verbal attacks, explosive meltdowns, public outbursts, poison pen emails, delusional self-centeredness, love and light one minute-on their shit list the next. Yes, bipolars can behave badly, but this was different. It was like being back in high school again, only worse. It got so I started to believe that the B in the acronym for our organization stood for something other than bipolar. For my own self-preservation, I got out of this toxic environment and cut off all ties with the state organization. I literally wound up hating these individuals and their illness. But I also recognized how lonely life must be for these individuals. None of them was married or in a loving relationship. None of them had children. None of them was employed. All of them engaged in frightening behavior. All were serious accidents waiting to happen. The illness is called borderline personality disorder. On the surface, the emotional volatility, impulsivity, depressions, mood swings, high drama, and destructive behavior of individuals with this diagnosis resemble bipolar disorder. The suicide rate is in the bipolar ballpark, about ten percent, and the pain and suffering individuals with this illness experience is similar.

Psychology news Psychology news Top psychology articles Top psychology articles ... Psychological support Jul Borderline Personality Disorder posted in Psychology by admin Link to this article: The disturbances suffered by those with borderline personality disorder have a wide-ranging and pervasive negative impact on many or all of the psychosocial facets of life, including employability and relationships in work, home, and social settings. Comorbidity is common; borderline personality disorder frequently occurring with substance use disorders and affective disorders. Suicidality and completed suicide are possible outcomes without proper care and effective therapy. Diagnosis Diagnosis is based on the self-reported experiences of the patient, as well as markers for the disorder observed by a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other qualified diagnostician through thorough clinical assessment. This profile may be supported and/or corroborated by long term patterns of behavior as reported by family members, friends or co-workers. The list of criteria that must be met for diagnosis is outlined in the DSM-IV-TR.[1] An initial assessment generally includes a comprehensive personal and family history, and may also include a physical examination by a physician. Although there are no physiological tests that confirm borderline personality disorder, medical tests may be employed to exclude any co-occurring medical conditions that may present with psychiatric symptoms. These include blood tests measuring TSH to exclude hypo- or hyperthyroidism, basic electrolytes and serum calcium to rule out a metabolic disturbance, full blood count including ESR to rule out a systemic infection or chronic disease, and serology to exclude syphilis or HIV infection; two commonly ordered investigations are EEG to exclude epilepsy, and a CT scan of the head to exclude brain lesions.
