Abstract:This paper reviews recent studies of biological and environmental risk and protective factors and patterns of continuity leading to borderline personality disorder (BPD). It focuses on prospective studies of children and adolescents and studies of young people with borderline pathology, reporting findings from genetics, neurobiology, experimental psychopathology, environmental risk, and precursor signs and symptoms. Studies of individuals earlier in the course of BPD demonstrate relatively consistent environme… Show more

“…Esto no es específico para el TLP: nosotros sabemos que semejantes experiencias disminuyen la respuesta al tratamiento independientemente del diagnóstico primario (ej., Teicher & Samson, 2013). Entre los individuos con trastornos de la personalidad, los rangos de trauma infantil son altos (73% informan abusos, de los cuales el 34% es abuso sexual y 82% informaron de negligencia; Ball & Links, 2009;Chanen & Kaess, 2012). En los pacientes con TLP es cuatro veces más probable que en los controles normales que hayan sufrido un trauma temprano (Johnson, Cohen, Brown, Smailes, & Bernstein, 1999).…”

Dirigir las consultas sobre derechos y autorizaciones a ceir@psicoterapiarelacional.es Un nuevo modelo evolutivo para el trastorno límite de la personalidad (TLP) y su tratamiento ha avanzado en base a consideraciones evolutivas que implican el rol del apego, la mentalización y de la confiabilidad epistemológica en el desarrollo de la psicopatología. Nosotros proponemos que la vulnerabilidad a una psicopatología, por lo general, está relacionada con deficiencias en la confiabilidad epistemológica que provocan una interrupción en el proceso de la salutogénesis, es decir, de los efectos positivos asociados con la capacidad de beneficiarse del ambiente social. El TLP es quizá el trastorno por excelencia que ilustra este punto de vista. Nosotros argumentamos que esta conceptualización es coherente con la presencia de una marcada rigidez e inestabilidad en el TLP y que cuenta con implicaciones sumamente accesibles para las intervenciones.
Palabras clave: Mentalización, Confianza epistémica, Trastorno de Personalidad LímiteA new developmental model of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and its treatment is advanced based on evolutionary considerations concerning the role of attachment, mentalizing, and epistemic trust in the development of psychopathology. We propose that vulnerability to psychopathology in general is related to impairments in epistemic trust, leading to disruptions in the process of salutogenesis, the positive effects associated with the capacity to benefit from the social environment. BPD is perhaps the disorder par excellence that illustrates this view. We argue that this conceptualization makes sense of the presence of both marked rigidity and instability in BPD, and has far-reaching implications for intervention.
“…Studies of candidate genes in the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems have not yielded any convincing empirical or sufficiently reliable results (16). A single study of adolescents postulated that a specific gene polymorphism (i.e., the short allele of the serotonin transporter gene, 5-HTTLPR) was a risk factor for the development of BPD (17).…”

“…Structural brain differences have also been found to be associated with childhood maltreatment (33). Because a history of a broad range of adverse childhood experiences have been found in both adults (34) and youth with BPD (16), this raises the question of whether these early adverse life experiences may also be linked to the neuroanatomical changes seen in patients with BPD. So far, no imaging studies involving young patients with BPD have investigated the effect of prior exposure to early life stressors on brain anatomy.…”

This review summarizes recent neurobiological research into youth with borderline personality disorder (BPD) to better delineate the biological factors involved in the development of this disorder. Psychobiological studies when BPD first becomes manifest are of particular interest, because there are fewer confounding factors (e.g., duration of illness, drug abuse, medication, other therapeutic interventions) at this time. This article focuses on recent findings in the field of neuroimaging, neuropsychology, neuroendocrinology, genetics, and pain perception, and it aims to integrate these findings in a developmental psychopathology model of BPD. In studies of clinical samples of adults with BPD, structural imaging studies revealed abnormalities predominantly in the frontolimbic areas. Disturbances in emotional information processingparticularly involving negative stimuli-may mediate affective dysregulation as a core feature of BPD. Genetic studies could reveal that the stability of BPD traits in youth is largely influenced by a combination of genetic and non-shared environmental factors. Hyporesponsiveness to a laboratory stressor indicates an enduring alteration of the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal axis. Findings of a higher pain threshold indicate that pain processing is already disturbed during the early stages of BPD, which could contribute to the initiation or maintenance of self-injurious behavior. All biological factors, together with environmental risk factors, may contribute to the core symptoms of BPD: severe emotional and behavioral dysregulation. Further research should investigate the development of BPD in youth by using longitudinal designs to determine whether the neurobiological factors are a cause, an effect, or an epiphenomenon of BPD.
