“…The role of early traumatic events and maltreatments in the onset, course, and pathogenesis of BPD was extensively examined by several studies. The World Health Organization categorized maltreatment into physical neglect, emotional neglect, emotional abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse (35). Children who are abused and/or neglected show deficits of functioning in several mental areas that are associated with BPD symptoms (36–40).…”

Early Detection and Outcome in Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe and heterogeneous mental disorder that is known to have the onset in young age, often in adolescence. For this reason, it is of fundamental importance to identify clinical conditions of childhood and adolescence that present a high risk to evolve in BPD. Investigations indicate that early borderline pathology (before 19 years) predict long-term deficits in functioning, and a higher percentage of these patients continue to present some BPD symptoms up to 20 years. There is a general accordance among investigators that good competence in both childhood and early adulthood is the main predictive factor of excellent recovery in BPD patients. Some authors suggest that specific childhood personality traits can to be considered precursors of adult BPD, as well as some clinical conditions: disruptive behaviours, disturbance in attention and emotional regulation, conduct disorders, substance use disorders, and attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder. Unfortunately, diagnosis and treatment of BPD is usually delayed, also because some clinicians are reluctant to diagnose BPD in younger individuals. Instead, the early identification of BPD symptoms have important clinical implications in terms of precocious intervention programs, and guarantees that young people with personality disorders obtain appropriate treatments. This review is aimed to collect the current evidences on early risk and protective factors in young people that may predict BPD onset, course, and outcome.

“…Overwhelmingly, evidence reviewed across studies suggests that sexual abuse experiences confer risk for women and girls’ engagement in antisocial behavior (Arata, Langhinrichsen-Rohling, Bowers & O’Brien, 2007; Cernkovich, Lanctot, & Giordano, 2008; Gault-Sherman, Silver, & Sigfusdottir, 2009; Gunnison & McCartan, 2005; Hahm, Lee, Ozonoff, & Wert, 2010; Herrera & McCloskey, 2003; Hubbard & Pratt, 2002; Leeb, Barker & Strine, 2007; Phan & Kingree, 2001; MacMilan et al, 2001; Mason, Zimmerman & Evans, 1998; McCabe, Lansing, garland & Hough, 2002; Siegel & Williams, 2003; Verona & Sachs-Ericsson, 2005; Wright, Friedrich, Cinq-Mars, Cyr, & McDuff, 2004)2. These studies have used a variety of samples and methods to assess sexual abuse and antisocial behavior, including self, other, and official reports.…”

Women and girls’ engagement in antisocial behavior represents a psychological issue of great concern given the radiating impact that women’s antisociality can have on individuals, families, and communities. Despite its importance and relevance for psychological science, this topic has received limited attention to date and no systematic review of risk factors exists. The present paper aims to systematically review the empirical literature informing risk factors relevant to women’s antisocial behavior, with a focus on adolescence and adulthood. Primary aims are to 1) review empirical literatures on risk factors for female antisocial behavior across multiple levels of influence (e.g., person-level characteristics, risky family factors, and gender-salient contexts) and fields of study (e.g., psychology, sociology); 2) evaluate the relevance of each factor for female antisocial behavior; and 3) incorporate an analysis of how gender at both the individual and ecological level shapes pathways to antisocial behavior in women and girls. We conclude that women’s antisocial behavior is best-understood as being influenced by person-level or individual vulnerabilities, risky family factors, and exposure to gender-salient interpersonal contexts, and underscore the importance of examining women’s antisocial behavior through an expanded lens that views gender as an individual level attribute as well as a social category that organizes the social context in ways that may promote engagement in antisocial behavior. Based on the present systematic review, an integrative pathway model is proposed toward the goal of synthesizing current knowledge and generating testable hypotheses for future research.

“…Cohen, Deblinger, Maedel, and Stauffer (1999) indicated that sexually related fears and anxiety were significantly higher among victims of CSA compared to those who have not experienced such abuse. In some cases, the experience of childhood maltreatment, sexual abuse in particular, seems to increase the probability of weapon carrying in adolescence, suggesting that victims may have a perceived vulnerability or fear of revictimization (Leeb, Barker, & Strine, 2007). Research has also indicated that some female victims of CSA have been found to be fearful within their adult relationships (Meiselman, 1978) and of men in particular (Briere & Runtz, 1987).…”

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has been identified as a predictor for dating violence victimization; however, the mechanism for this relationship is unexplored. The current study examined whether fearful dating experiences may help explain the relationship between CSA and dating violence victimization. Participants (N =327 college women) completed self-report measures of CSA, fearful dating experiences, and dating violence. In a mediational model test, CSA was found to be positively associated with fear in dating relationships and with dating violence victimization, fear was associated with dating violence victimization, and the effect of CSA on dating violence victimization scores was reduced after controlling for fear. A Sobel's test showed that fear partially mediated the relationship between CSA and current dating violence victimization.
