“…Adults with BPD [ 14 , 96 , 98 , 118 , 121 ] and adolescents with BPD features [ 89 , 154 , 182 ] also are at increased risk for abuse or re-victimization as adults and for cumulative polyvictimization across the lifespan. Further, cumulative exposure to interpersonal violence over the lifespan was found to be associated with comorbid BPD/PTSD rather than either BPD or PTSD alone [ 83 , 84 ].…”

Background This article builds on a previous review (Ford and Courtois, Borderline Personal Disord Emot Dysregul 1:9, 2014) which concluded that complex posttraumatic stress disorder (cPTSD) could not be conceptualized as a sub-type of either PTSD or BPD. Recent research is reviewed that extends and clarifies the still nascent understanding of the relationship between cPTSD and BPD. Main body The circumscribed formulation of adult cPTSD that has been developed, validated, and included in the 11th Edition of the International Classification of Diseases has spurred research aimed at differentiating cPTSD and BPD both descriptively and empirically. A newly validated Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD) syndrome for children and adolescents provides a basis for systematic research on the developmental course and origins of adult cPTSD and BPD. This review summarizes recent empirical findings regarding BPD, PTSD, and cPTSD in terms of: (1) prevalence and comorbidity; (2) clinical phenomenology; (3) traumatic antecedents; (4) psychobiology; (5) emotion dysregulation; (6) dissociation; and (7) empirically supported approaches to clinical assessment and psychotherapeutic treatment. Conclusion The evidence suggests that PTSD, cPTSD, and BPD are potentially comorbid but distinct syndromes. A hypothesis is advanced to stimulate scientific research and clinical innovation defining and differentiating the disorders, positing that they may represent a continuum paralleling the classic conceptualization of the stress response, with dissociation potentially involved in each disorder.

“…BPD core features, namely, affective instability, disturbed sense of self, instable identity, interpersonal disturbances, and self-harming impulsivity (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013), are thought to develop under the influence of childhood maltreatment (Ball & Links, 2009; Battle et al, 2004; Crowell, Beauchaine, & Linehan, 2009; Herman, Perry, & van der Kolk, 1989) and are associated with increased IPV (González, Igoumenou, Kallis, & Coid, 2016; Hines, 2008; Mauricio, 2007; Moore et al, 2018; Newhill, Eack, & Mulvey, 2009; Reuter, Sharp, Temple, & Babcock, 2014; Weinstein, Gleason, & Oltmanns, 2012; Whisman & Schonbrun, 2009). Although BPD symptoms may decrease over time, interpersonal problems and difficulties establishing meaningful relationships usually persist (Soloff & Chiappetta, 2018).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious mental and physical health concern worldwide. Although previous research suggests that childhood maltreatment increases the risk for IPV, the underlying psychological mechanisms of this relationship are not yet entirely understood. Borderline personality (BP) features may play an important role in the cycle of violence, being associated with interpersonal violence in both childhood and adult relationships. The present study investigated whether BP features mediate the relationship between childhood maltreatment and IPV, differentiating between perpetration and victimization, and taking maladaptive stress coping and gender into account. Self-reports on IPV, childhood trauma, BP features, and maladaptive stress coping were collected in a mixed (nonclinical and clinical) sample of 703 adults (n = 537 female, n = 166 male), using an online survey. A serial mediation analysis (PROCESS) was performed to quantify

“…Within these perplexing correctional environments, young adult offenders face daunting challenges such as overcrowding, corruption, bullying, sexual victimization, forced sex, gang activity, offender-on-offender violence, offender-on-staff violence, exploitation, suicide, and even murder (De Viggiani, 2007;Gear, 2007aGear, , 2007bGear, , 2008Gear, , 2010Hesselink-Louw, 2004;Lahm, 2008Lahm, , 2009Morash et al, 2010;Perez et al, 2009;Sarchiapone et al, 2009). Young adult male offenders are particularly inclined to experience aggression, violence, and assault within the correctional environment, but are even more inclined to cope with daily challenges in correctional environments by using aggression themselves (Casey et al, 2016;Chahal et al, 2016;DeVeaux, 2013;McGuire, 2018;Moore et al, 2018;Reid & Listwan, 2018;Steiner et al, 2014;Tomar, 2013;Valentine et al, 2015), as they tend to be developmentally unprepared to adjust to the challenges of the correctional environment (Scott & Steinberg, 2008;Valentine et al, 2015). Reid and Listwan (2018) reiterated the importance of research on aggression and violence within correctional environments, as aggression and violence within the correctional environment lead to severe consequences such as loss of life, personal injury, fear, increased security, longer sentences, increased levels of recidivism, reduced access to programs, and sexual victimization (Reid & Listwan, 2018;Ricciardelli, 2014aRicciardelli, , 2014bRocheleau, 2015;Trulson et al, 2010).…”

Offenders in South Africa face dehumanizing conditions in overcrowded correctional centers known for constant violence and corruption. These offenders need to cope and adjust to life within a correctional center. However, the majority of young adult male offenders use aggression to adjust to the correctional environment. It is, therefore, essential to identify which predictor variables predict aggression the best among incarcerated young adult male offenders. This study focused on 243 young adult male maximum-security offenders sampled through convenience sampling. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to investigate which variable(s) or set(s) of variables explain a significant percentage of the variance of aggression. The results indicated that problem-solving, seeking social support, and avoidance, as a set of predictors, significantly predicted physical aggression, anger, and hostility. These findings seem to suggest that to decrease physical aggression, anger, and hostility among young adult offenders, it would be advisable to implement interventions that would (i) increase their problem-solving skills, (ii) improve their social support, and (iii) teach them to refrain from making use of avoidance as a coping strategy.
