“…Research on BPD features in relation to aspects of the relationships with mothers focuses mostly on maladaptive parenting, such as maternal abuse or neglect in the intergenerational transmission of BPD or abuse of neglect [20,21], or affective behaviours during a discussion task [19,22]. As both maladaptive parenting by the mother and maternal affective behaviours seem related to BPD in adolescents, this raises the question which features of the mother-child relationship exactly are related to BPD in young people and how these features are experienced by respectively the young person and the mother.…”

Background:Impaired interpersonal functioning has been highlighted as a core feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Adolescence and young adulthood form important developmental stages within both the emergence of BPD and the development of interpersonal functioning, which takes place mostly in relationships with parents and friends. This study aimed to: (i) investigate relations between BPD symptoms and both supportive and negative interactions with mothers and best friends; (ii) investigate whether the relations were moderated by age; (iii) test the robustness of our findings by comparing the results based on self-reports with results from a subsample in which supportive and negative interactions with mothers were rated by the mother.Methods312 young people referred to mental healthcare completed self-report measures on BPD and supportive and negative interactions. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the relations between BPD features and perceived supportive and negative interactions with mothers and best friend, and to investigate whether these relations were moderated by age. Robustness of our findings was studied in a subsample (n = 104) by using a multi-informant design in maternal report on supportive and negative interactions with mothers. ResultsMultiple regression analyses demonstrated that negative interactions with mothers as well as with a best friend were related to more BPD symptoms in young people. Supportive interactions were not related to BPD symptoms. Both BPD and quality of relations were not related to age. In a subsample in which supportive and negative interactions with mothers were rated by the mother, the maternal report showed slightly different results. In this model, both supportive and negative interactions with a best friend were positively related, whereas interactions with mothers were not related to BPD symptoms in young people.ConclusionsResults highlight the importance of relationships with mothers and a best friend during adolescence and young adulthood. Given that BPD often emerges during this developmental phase, future research is needed to clarify how quality of relationships could alter pathways toward BPD in young people.

“…Severity, chronicity, and involvement in multiple subtypes of abuse were associated with BPD symptoms in adolescents [ 40 ]. Kors et al reported a higher frequency of intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment in families with a maternal history of BPD, where dysregulated interpersonal relationships played a pivotal role [ 41 ]. These effects of parental BPD on the psychopathology of offspring might be attributed to a maladaptive family environment, dysfunctional parenting styles, low parental affection, aversive parental behavior, overprotection, and maternal rejection [ 28 , 29 , 38 , 39 ].…”

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) has seen significant advances in the knowledge of its developmental phenomenology during late childhood and adolescence. Various genetic, neurobiological, psychological, and social factors are implicated in the etiology of BPD. With emerging evidence on BPD development in adolescence, the review focused on recent literature to understand the role of psychosocial risk factors. The effects of adverse familial environment, physical, emotional, verbal, and sexual abuse, intergenerational transmission of psychopathological traits, maternal neglect and rejection, low socioeconomic status, bullying victimization, and dating violence were reviewed to understand their role in the development of BPD. BPD is a highly complex, serious, and enduring mental illness that has now been widely accepted to have symptoms that onset in early adolescence and could be diagnosed as early as age 12. BPD symptoms are stable, phenomenologically distinct from externalizing and internalizing disorders, and often present with co-occurring disorders, which during assessment could not explain impairments associated with BPD. New measures like the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), detailed developmental histories, understanding of psychosocial risks, shared decision-making, and psychoeducation could assist in early diagnosis and improvement of long-term outcomes. The implementation of evidence-based treatments is a challenge given higher costs and access to services; therefore, modifications in the treatment based on the core principles of these strategies should be considered. It is imperative to screen for psychosocial factors early in higher-risk groups. The assessment of familial factors, parental histories of psychopathologies, and histories of childhood abuse is important in context with impairing symptoms of clinical presentation and dimensional aspects of self-functioning. The role of family therapies, parental psychoeducation, and the integration of trauma-informed care approaches are important for clinical outcomes. Also, coordinated efforts with multiple stakeholders like school awareness programs, anti-bullying policies, legislation, and enforcement of existing laws might be instrumental in addressing issues related to victimization by peers.

Defi nition, differential diagnosis and clinical context of borderline personality disorder Defi nition, introduction and epidemiological profi le:The term "borderline" was born as a label aimed at describing a whole series of characteristics and behaviors that are diffi cult to defi ne. Migone (1990) draws up a list of the defi nitions of different authors, which refer more or less directly to the borderline area, below some: "borderline neurosis" (Clark, 1919), "parataxies in certain borderline mental states" (Moore, 1921), "impulsive character", "incipient schizophrenia"
