Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Jewish Survivors of Incest and other forms of childhood sexual abuse "Do what you want and say what you feel because those that mind, don't matter and those that matter, don't mind!" ~ Dr. Seuss In an article entitled, "Borderline and Other Severe Symptoms in Adult Survivors of Incestuous Abuse, Jean M. Goodwin, M.D., MPH; Katherine Cheeves, M.D.; and Virginia Connell, R.N., M.S. hypothesized that, "Borderline Personality Disorder might be conceptualized as a complicated posttraumatic syndrome , and validation and integration of the childhood trauma might be a precondition for successful treatment." Goodwin, Cheeves and Connell site a study in their article, "Borderline and Other Severe Symptoms in Adult Survivors of Incestuous Abuse" "by Herman, Perry and van der Kolk - 'childhood trauma in borderline personality disorder' - as having documented a high prevalence of both physical and sexual abuse in patients diagnosed as having Borderline Personality Disorder. Herman, Perry and van der Kolk found that in a sample of patients with carefully diagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder 81% gave a history of major childhood trauma, including significant physical abuse (71%) and sexual abuse (68%) and witnessing serious domestic violence (62%)". . . "suggest that childhood trauma may be one of several factors, including temperament and relationship to caretaker, that lead to the development of borderline psychopathology."

Welcome to Mental Health America of Eastern Missouri info@mhaem.org Borderline Personality Disorder T he concept of “personality” presents many problems when diagnosing psychiatric disorders. Researchers often disagree about the boundaries between personality disorders and even the distinction between healthy and unhealthy personalities. On the whole, observing someone’s personality is highly subjective. The concept of personality implies certain common features in what a person thinks, feels and does over a period of time in changing situations. But the influence of these traits is difficult to distinguish from the influence of mental disorders, passionate emotional states, common responses to stress, and imposed or adopted social roles. A host of theories surround the origin of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), yet none are supported with substantial empirical evidence. The symptoms of the disorder can be briefly summarized as instability in mood, thinking, behavior, personal relations, and self-image. Although people diagnosed with this disorder cannot bear to be alone and constantly demand attention, they are often difficult to work and live with. Chronically angry, quick to take offense, and easily depressed are just some of the traits they exhibit. They also may make unreasonable demands on friends and family, engage in provocative behavior, throw tantrums, and make suicide threats. The individual suffering from BPD feels incomplete, lacking a solid core, who is at one entirely dependent on and attached to others, and then suddenly quite able to abruptly break away.
