“…These findings support the high rates of emotional dysregulation, indicated by low distress tolerance, characteristicly seen in BPD (Crowell et al 2009;Glenn and Klonsky 2009;Reeves et al 2010) and also support previous findings that alcohol use problems tend to be more typical of BPD than other types of personality disorders (Walter et al 2009;Zanarini et al 2010). Furthermore, given that a past experience of trauma is thought to be integral to the development of BPD (Pagura et al 2010;Sasone et al 2011), it is not surprising to see that PTSD scores were also only correlated with Cluster B scores. Interestingly, there was a tendency for all of the psychological variables, with the exception of psychological distress, to demonstrate stronger relationships with Cluster B scores than Cluster A and C scores, which is consistent with the biosocial developmental model of BPD and previous studies on BPD.…”

“…The experience of trauma and PTSD is very common among individuals with BPD and is thought to be integral to its development (Pagura et al 2010;Sasone et al 2011). Correspondingly, there is also evidence that suggests PTSD is associated with problem gambling, with a recent meta-analysis revealing that an average of 12.3 % of treatment-seeking problem gamblers met the diagnostic criteria for PTSD .…”

An Empirical Study of Personality Disorders Among Treatment-Seeking Problem Gamblers

et al. 2016

The primary aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of personality disorders in problem gamblers, to explore the relationship between personality disorders and problem gambling severity, and to explore the degree to which the psychological symptoms highlighted in the biosocial developmental model of borderline personality disorder (impulsivity, distress tolerance, substance use, PTSD symptoms, psychological distress and work/social adjustment) are associated with problem gambling. A secondary aim was to explore the strength of the relationships between these symptoms and problem gambling severity in problem gamblers with and without personality disorder pathology. Participants were 168 consecutively admitted problem gamblers seeking treatment from a specialist outpatient gambling service in Australia. The prevalence of personality disorders using the self-report version of the Iowa Personality Disorders Screen was 43.3 %. Cluster B personality disorders, but not Cluster A or C personality disorders, were associated with problem gambling severity. All psychological symptoms, except alcohol and drug use, were significantly higher among participants with personality disorder pathology compared to those without. Finally, psychological distress, and work and social adjustment were significantly associated with problem gambling severity for problem gamblers with personality disorder pathology, while impulsivity, psychological distress, and work and social adjustment were significantly associated with problem gambling severity for those without personality disorder pathology. High rates of comorbid personality disorders, particularly Cluster B disorders, necessitate routine screening in gambling treatment services. More complex psychological profiles may complicate treatment for problem gamblers with comorbid personality disorders. Future research should examine the applicability of the biosocial developmental model to problem gambling in community studies.

“…Emotional Satisfaction in People with Borderline Personality Research on this clinical outcome is relevant because several studies have reported that emotional satisfaction in people with BPD is directly associated with the perceived quality of one's romantic relationship [9,17,66] . Specifically, an 18-month follow-up study found that women with BPD were less likely to report emotional satisfaction than women without BPD at the end of the follow-up period [7] .…”

Romantic Relationships of People with Borderline Personality: A Narrative Review

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Romantic relationships are one of the most interesting areas of interpersonal functioning in people with borderline personality. The aim of this narrative review was to synthesise empirical findings on this issue. Sampling and Methods: The PubMed and PsycINFO databases were searched for pertinent materials published between 1980 and March 2016. Thirty articles met the inclusion criteria. Results: Several longitudinal and cross-sectional studies showed that people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or BPD traits had more - but less prolonged - romantic relationships than people without BPD. The stable relationships of people with BPD or with BPD traits were also less satisfying and more hostile than those of people without BPD. People with BPD or BPD traits had relationships characterised by insecure attachment and passive-aggressive communications. Personality disorders and anxious attachment were more prevalent among the partners of people with BPD or with BPD traits when compared with partners of people without BPD. Conclusion: Unstable and chaotic romantic relationships are at the core of interpersonal dysfunction in BPD. More longitudinal research is needed to delineate the relationship between BPD symptoms and romantic relationship dysfunction, including the modulating role of the partner's clinical features in such an association.

“…In addition, the current study expands on the findings of the RCT by demonstrating a reduction of symptoms in a diverse sample of children and adolescents who recently experienced and/or disclosed sexual abuse and received services in the CAC setting. This is significant given past research that has demonstrated the long-term deleterious impact of childhood sexual abuse (Katerndahl et al 2005;Sansone et al 2011). A significant difference in baseline child-reported traumatic stress symptom severity on the CPSS was found based on gender, with girls reporting higher symptom severity than boys.…”

It has been well established that childhood exposure to abuse and trauma constitutes a major threat to children's development, as well as to later psychiatric, physical, and behavioral health. Identification of, and early intervention with, children experiencing symptoms of traumatic stress is an important goal. The Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI) has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing children's traumatic stress symptoms and reducing the odds of full or partial PTSD diagnosis at 3 months following end of treatment in a previous randomized controlled trial. The current chart review of CFTSI cases completed with 114 caregiverchild dyads in a Child Advocacy Center setting found that the brief, early family-strengthening intervention is effective in reducing symptoms in a diverse sample of children and adolescents who recently experienced and/or disclosed sexual abuse.

The relationship between childhood trauma and borderline personality symptomatology in a consecutive sample of cardiac stress test patients

Abstract: In this non-psychiatric-treatment-seeking population, there appear to be relationships between various forms of trauma (especially sexual abuse) and borderline personality symptomatology, reinforcing the role of childhood trauma in borderline personality disorder.
