“…However, despite acknowledgement of these cognitive processes, participants demonstrated a reluctance to internalise and take ownership of their own ‘ success ’. Their emphasis on ‘ luck ’ as a key component of ‘ success ’ suggests an external locus of control among participants, previously implicated as a key feature of personality disorder (Hope et al, 2018). Perhaps, given participants’ experiences of early neglect, abuse and trauma, when these experiences are reinforced by the CJS, it becomes difficult to believe that they are responsible for their own ‘ success ’.…”

This paper explores conceptualisations of ‘ success’ by men on Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence licence screened into the Offender Personality Disorder Pathway. ‘ Success’ was defined as a process of having ‘ survived’ the perceived injustices associated with the IPP sentence. Participants’ discussed ‘ internal factors’ enabling them to make use of ‘ external facilitators’ of self-change; ‘ success’ was embedded in the development of interpersonal relationships with professionals. We propose a model of reciprocal anxiety existing within the criminal justice system in relation to the management of individuals on IPP sentence.

“…55 External locus of control has clear associations with higher levels of suicide risk 9 10 and is related to the emotional regulation of suicidal impulses in patients with borderline personality disorder. 56 For some patients, external locus of control may nevertheless be necessary in the acute phases of a suicidal crisis. This has also been described in a sample of psychotic and suicidal patients.…”

AimThe aim of this study was to explore suicidal patients’ experiences of safe clinical practice during hospitalisation in mental health wards. The study was guided by the following research question: How do suicidal patients experience safe clinical practice during hospitalisation in mental health wards?Design, setting and participantsA qualitative design with semistructured individual interviews was applied. Eighteen patients hospitalised with suicidal behaviour in specialised mental health wards for adults at a Norwegian hospital participated in the study. Data were analysed thematically and inductively using qualitative content analysis.ResultsPatients in a suicidal crisis experienced safe clinical care in mental health wards characterised by the following three themes: (1) being recognised as suicidal, (2) receiving tailor-made treatment and (3) being protected by adaptive practice.ConclusionThis study illuminates the experiences of safe clinical practice for patients in a suicidal crisis. The patient group was multifaceted, with variable experiences of how safe clinical practice affected their subjective experience of safety and suicidal behaviour. The finding highlights the importance of embracing personalised activities in all parts of safe clinical practice and to recognise rather than efface patients’ variability in patient safety efforts.

“…To our knowledge, only a few empirical studies have examined the attributive style of BPD. Two psychometric studies suggest that BPD characteristics are associated with an external locus of control (Hope et al, 2018;Pinto et al, 1996). Other studies have shown that patients with BPD appear to consider themselves to be the predominant cause of adverse events (Schilling et al, 2015;Winter et al, 2015).…”

Self-disturbance is recognized as a key symptom of Borderline Personality disorder (BPD). Although it is the source of significant distress and significant costs to society, it is still poorly specified. In addition, current research and models on the aetiology of BPD do not provide sufficient evidence or predictions about who is at risk of developing BPD and self-disturbance, and why. The aim of this review is to lay the foundations of a new model inspired by recent developments at the intersection of social cognition and behavioural ecology. We argue that the sense of agency is an important dimension to consider when characterizing self-disturbances in BPD. Second, we address the poorly characterized relation between self-disturbances and adverse social conditions encountered early in life. We highlight the potential relevance of the phenotypic plasticity framework in evolutionary biology to make sense of this association. We suggest that the effect of early life adversity on BPD symptomatology depends on the way individuals trade their limited resources between competing biological functions along the life cycle.
