The purpose of this study was to explore, throughout the life cycle, the prevalence of self-harm behaviors among psychiatric inpatients with and without borderline personality disorder (BPD). Psychiatric inpatients with BPD (n = 43) were compared to those without BPD (n = 40) with regard to self-reported self-harm behaviors during their lifetime. The mean number of self-harm behaviors, including high-lethal behaviors (i.e., suicide attempts, cutting oneself, overdosing), among those with BPD dramatically increased between the ages of 18 and 24 years and was sustained through ages 50 to 59 years. Non-BPD patients showed a similar pattern, but the means were notably less. These data suggest that the behavioral "burn out" theory of personality disorders does not necessarily occur among inpatients with BPD. 相似文献

The authors investigated the prevalence of substance abuse in 137 inpatients with DSM-III borderline personality disorder. Ninety-two (67%) of these patients were given DSM-III substance use disorder diagnosis. The most frequently used substances were alcohol and sedative-hypnotics. When substance abuse was not used as a diagnostic criterion for borderline personality disorder, 32 (23%) of the 137 patients no longer met borderline criteria. These patients differed significantly from the rest of the patients in severity and course of illness. These data suggest that there might be a subgroup of borderline patients for whom substance use plays a primary role in the development of borderline psychopathology. 相似文献

Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among patients with panic disorder: a survey of two outpatient clinics. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
OBJECTIVE: Recent epidemiologic studies found that 20% of subjects with the diagnosis of panic disorder had attempted suicide. This study sought to determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among patients with panic disorder and whether the presence of comorbid borderline personality disorder influenced the prevalence of suicidal thoughts and behavior. METHOD: At two outpatient clinics, experienced clinicians conducted retrospective reviews of data from the intake interviews and charts of 59 patients with panic disorder and comorbid borderline personality disorder and 234 patients with panic disorder with or without axis II disorders other than borderline personality disorder. RESULTS: Suicide attempts were reported by 2% of the patients with panic disorder, compared to 25% of the patients with both panic disorder and borderline personality disorder. In addition, 2% of the patients with panic disorder, compared to 27% of the patients with panic disorder and borderline personality disorder, reported suicidal ideation that was judged to be of clinical significance. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts for psychiatric outpatients with panic disorder was discrepant with the findings of the earlier studies. The increased suicide risk in this group of patients was associated with borderline personality disorder, increased substance abuse, and affective instability. While 61% of the panic disorder patients and 78% of the patients with both panic disorder and borderline personality disorder reported thinking about death, this must be distinguished from actual suicidal ideation and clinical risk of suicide. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to examine the factor structure of the DSM-III-R criteria for borderline personality disorder in young adult psychiatric inpatients. METHOD: The authors assessed 141 acutely ill inpatients with the Personality Disorder Examination, a semistructured diagnostic interview for DSM-III-R personality disorders. They used correlational analyses to examine the associations among the different criteria for borderline personality disorder and performed an exploratory factor analysis. RESULTS: Cronbach's coefficient alpha for the borderline personality disorder criteria was 0.69. A principal components factor analysis with a varimax rotation accounted for 57.2% of the variance and revealed three homogeneous factors. These factors were disturbed relatedness (unstable relationships, identity disturbance, and chronic emptiness); behavioral dysregulation (impulsivity and suicidal/self-mutilative behavior); and affective dysregulation (affective instability, inappropriate anger, and efforts to avoid abandonment). CONCLUSIONS: Exploratory factor analysis revealed three homogeneous components of borderline personality disorder that may represent personality, behavioral, and affective features central to the disorder. Recognition of these components may inform treatment plans. 相似文献

Of 45 female inpatients with schizophrenia, depression, borderline personality, or depression and borderline personality, 28 met criteria for probable or definite premenstrual affective syndrome. Of these 28, 16 had abnormal sexual histories, compared with only 1 of the 17 women who did not have premenstrual affective syndrome. Of the 12 patients with both depression and borderline personality disorder, 9 had both premenstrual affective syndrome and abnormal sexual histories. The 6 patients who had been raped all met the criteria for premenstrual affective syndrome. The authors suggest that premenstrual affective syndrome may signify unresolved sexual conflicts in subgroups of psychiatric patients. 相似文献

Introduction
Deliberate self-injury is defined as the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue without suicidal intent. There are different types of deliberate self-mutilating behaviour: self cutting, phlebotomy, bites, burns, or ulcerations. Sometimes, especially among psychotic inpatients, eye, tongue, ear or genital self-mutilations have been reported. In fact, self-mutilation behaviour raises nosological and psychopathological questions. A consensus on a precise definition is still pending. Many authors consider self-mutilating behaviour as a distinct clinical syndrome, whereas others hold it to be a specific symptom of borderline personality disorder. Self-mutilating behaviour has been observed in 10 to 15% of healthy children, especially between the age of 9 and 18 months. These self mutilations are considered as pathological after the age of 3. Such behaviour is common among adolescents, with a higher proportion of females, and among psychiatric inpatients. Patients use different locations and methods for self-mutilation. Deliberate self harm syndrome is often associated with addictive behaviour, suicide attempt, and personality disorder.Clinical material
We report on an observational study including 30 inpatients and we compared the data with the existing literature. As a matter of fact, until now, most of the papers deal with case reports or with very specific patterns of self-mutilation (eye, tongue or genital self-mutilations). Otherwise, papers report the relationships between self-mutilation and somatic or personality disorders (Lesh Nyhan syndrome, borderline personality disorder, dermatitis artefacta, self-mutilation in children following brachial plexus related to birth injury, mental retardation...). Our study included all self harmed patients who had been admitted to our psychiatric hospital (whatever the location and type of self-mutilation). Patients suffering from brain injury or mental retardation were excluded.Results
In our sample, there was a higher percentage of women (29 women and 1 man) and the mean age was 18 (12 to 37). More than half of the patients were aged under 18. Single parent families were reported in 30% of cases. Thirty percent of patients had been physically or sexually abused during childhood. Sixty percent had a comorbid psychiatric disorder, 63% had been hospitalised previously (half of them twice or more). Seventy-three percent of patients had previously attempted suicide (notably deliberate self-poisoning and cutting) that was not considered as self-mutilating behaviour by the patients themselves. Each patient had self harmed themselves at least twice and most often different methods and locations were used (deliberate self harm of forearms 90%, thighs 26.7%, legs 16.7%, chest 10%, belly 10%, hands 6.9%, face 6.9%, arms 6.7%, and feet 3.3%). Addictive disorders, such as substance abuse (tobacco 46.7%; alcohol 23.3%; illicit drugs 16.7% mostly cannabis or cocaine) and eating disorders (33.3% and among them 50% of cases were restrictive anorexia nervosa) were often associated with a deliberate self harm syndrome. Three psychiatric diagnoses were often observed in our cohort: depressive disorder 36.7%; personality disorder 20%; psychosis 10% and depressive disorder associated with personality disorder 33.3%. In our sample, psychotic patients differed on several clinical aspects: the atypical location (abdomen, nails) and method (needles) of self-mutilating behaviour. None of them had been abused during childhood and none was suffering from addictive disorders. 相似文献9.
Comorbidity of borderline personality disorder 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M R Fyer A J Frances T Sullivan S W Hurt J Clarkin 《Archives of general psychiatry》1988,45(4):348-352
In a retrospective study of 180 inpatients with DSM-III borderline personality disorder (BPD), the degree and direction of psychiatric comorbidity were used to examine the extent to which BPD is a homogeneous entity with clearly defined boundaries. Ninety-one percent of patients with BPD had one additional diagnosis, and 42% had two or more additional diagnoses. Both patients with BPD and controls with other personality disorders had similar rates and directions of comorbidity. The two groups did not differ significantly in prevalence of affective disorder. The DSM-III BPD appears to constitute a very heterogeneous category with unclear boundaries, overlapping with many different disorders but without a specific association with any one Axis I disorder. Comorbidity in patients with BPD may reflect base rates of psychopathology rather than anything inherent to BPD. Future studies should control for comorbidity to ensure homogeneity of comparison groups. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: It has been reported that clinicians are less inclined than researchers to use direct questions in ascertaining the presence of personality disorders, and questions have been raised about the validity of research on personality disorders in which diagnoses are based on semistructured diagnostic interviews. This study examined the influence of assessment method on the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. METHOD: Diagnoses of borderline personality disorder derived from structured and unstructured clinical interviews were compared in two groups of psychiatric outpatients seen in the same practice setting. Five hundred individuals presenting to a general adult psychiatric practice for an intake appointment underwent a routine unstructured clinical interview. After the completion of that study, the method of conducting diagnostic evaluations was changed, and 409 individuals were interviewed with the borderline personality disorder section of the Structured Interview for DSM-IV Personality. RESULTS: Individuals in the structured interview group were significantly more often diagnosed with borderline personality disorder than individuals in the clinical group. When information from the structured interview was presented to the clinicians, borderline personality disorder was much more likely to be diagnosed by them. CONCLUSIONS: The method used to assess borderline personality disorder has a great impact on the frequency with which it is diagnosed. Without the benefit of detailed information from a semistructured diagnostic interview, clinicians rarely diagnose the disorder during a routine intake evaluation. Providing the results of a semistructured interview to clinicians prompts them to diagnose borderline personality disorder much more frequently. This is inconsistent with the notion that personality disorder diagnoses based on semistructured interviews are not viewed as valid by clinicians. 相似文献

Psychodynamic features in borderline personality disorder identified by a subliminal test, the Defense Mechanism Test 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Twenty-seven psychiatric inpatients, diagnosed according to DSM-III and the Diagnostic Interview for Borderline (DIB), and 7 healthy controls were tested with the Defense Mechanism Test (DMT), a test of subliminal perception based on psychoanalytic theory. In the test a specific stimulus is presented subliminally in a tachistoscope and the patient's perceptual distortions are registered. Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) were compared with patients with other personality disorders, patients with schizophrenic disorders and healthy controls. Specific perceptual distortions were identified among patients with BPD. Some individual DMT signs correlated with some deviant behaviors as identified by the DIB. The findings supported the psychodynamic validity of the concept of borderline personality disorder. It is concluded that DMT is a promising research instrument that provides an empirical approach to crucial psychodynamic phenomena. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the psychiatric treatment received by a well-defined sample of patients with borderline personality disorder and Axis II comparison subjects over 6 years of prospective follow-up. METHOD: 362 inpatients were interviewed about their treatment histories during their index admission (1992-1995). 290 patients met both Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines and DSM-III-R criteria for borderline personality disorder and 72 met DSM-III-R criteria for at least 1 nonborderline Axis II disorder (and neither criteria set for borderline personality disorder). Over 94% of surviving patients were re-interviewed about their psychiatric treatment histories 2, 4, and 6 years later. RESULTS: Only 33% of borderline patients were hospitalized during the final 2 years of the 6-year follow-up, a substantial decline from the 79% who had prior hospitalizations at baseline. Much the same pattern emerged for day and/or residential treatment (from 55% to 22%). In contrast, about three quarters of borderline patients were still in psychotherapy and taking psychotropic medications after 6 years of follow-up. Additionally, over 70% of borderline patients participating in these outpatient modalities did so for at least 75% of each follow-up period. While rates of intensive psychotherapy declined significantly over time (from 36% to 16%), rates of intensive polypharmacy remained relatively stable over time, with about 40% of borderline patients taking 3 or more concurrent standing medications during each follow-up period, about 20% taking 4 or more, and about 10% taking 5 or more. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the majority of borderline patients continue to use outpatient treatment in a sustained manner through 6 years of follow-up, but only a declining minority use more restrictive and costly forms of treatment. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: This study sought to examine the association between unmet need and personality disorders in a sample of psychiatric inpatients. The authors tested the hypothesis that the presence of a personality disorder would be independently associated with a significantly greater number of unmet needs. METHODS: A total of 153 psychiatric inpatients from four acute hospital wards serving an inner-city borough in London, United Kingdom, received standardized assessments of need and personality disorder by use of the Camberwell Assessment of Need Short Assessment Schedule and Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Personality Disorders. RESULTS: Fifty-four percent of the sample had a personality disorder. The presence of a personality disorder was associated with greater unmet need. In multiple regression analyses, after adjustment was made for the effects of all covariates, severity of personality disorder was significantly associated with unmet need. Personality disorder was significantly associated with greater need in eight of 22 domains of need: self-care, psychotic symptoms, psychological distress, risk to self, risk to others, alcohol use, sexual expression, and budgeting. CONCLUSIONS: Personality disorder was found to be independently associated with a greater level of unmet need among psychiatric inpatients. The study highlights for the first time the importance of a comprehensive assessment of need for patients with personality disorders. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of axis I disorders among patients with borderline personality disorder over 6 years of prospective follow-up. METHOD: A semistructured interview of demonstrated reliability was used to assess presence or absence of comorbid axis I disorders in 290 patients who met Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines criteria and DSM-III-R criteria for borderline personality disorder and 72 patients who did not meet these criteria but did meet DSM-III-R criteria for another axis II disorder. Over 94% of surviving patients were reinterviewed about their axis I disorders at 2-year, 4-year, and 6-year follow-up periods. RESULTS: Although the patients with borderline personality disorder experienced declining rates of many axis I disorders over time, the rates of these disorders remained high, particularly the rates of mood and anxiety disorders. Patients whose borderline personality disorder remitted over time experienced substantial decline in all comorbid disorders assessed, but those whose borderline personality disorder did not remit over time reported stable rates of comorbid disorders. When the absence of comorbid axis I disorders was used to predict time to remission, the absence of substance use disorders was a far stronger predictor of remission from borderline personality disorder than was the absence of posttraumatic stress disorder, mood disorders, other anxiety disorders, or eating disorders, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that axis I disorders are less common over time in patients with initially severe borderline personality disorder, particularly for patients whose borderline personality disorder remits over time. The findings also suggest that substance use disorders are most closely associated with the failure to achieve remission from borderline personality disorder. 相似文献

Borderline and other mental disorders in alcoholic female psychiatric patients: a case control study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A random sample of female, nonalcoholic psychiatric outpatients, day and inpatients from one catchment area (n = 65; C group), was compared with female psychiatric patients with a DSM-III alcohol disorder (n = 64; A group). On DSM-III, axis, I, the frequency of additional symptom diagnoses, including depressions, was nearly equal. On axis II, the A group had an additional personality disorder significantly more often (81 vs. 46%), borderline personality disorder being the most frequent (66 vs. 11%). Among patients with depressive disorders, the differences between the A and the C group on axis II were the same. But alcoholic patients suffering from a major depressive disorder more frequently had a borderline personality disorder than other subgroups. The alcohol problems seem to be more related to ongoing personality problems than to episodic, symptomatic disorders. Female psychiatric patients with alcohol problems are diagnostically a heterogeneous group and should not be offered a uniform therapy. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine associations between childhood and adolescent psychiatric disorders and adult personality disorders in a group of former child psychiatric inpatients. One hundred and fifty-eight former inpatients with a mean age of 30.5 +/- 7.1 years at investigation had their childhood and adolescent Axis I disorders, obtained from their medical records, coded into DSM-IV diagnoses. Personality disorders in adulthood were assessed by means of the DSM-IV and ICD-10 Personality Questionnaire (DIP-Q). The predictive effects of child and adolescent Axis I disorders on adult personality disorders were examined with logistic regression analyses. The odds of adult schizoid, avoidant, dependent,borderline and schizotypal personality disorders increased by almost 10, five, four, three and three times, respectively, given a prior major depressive disorder. Those effects were independent of age, sex and other Axis I disorders. In addition, the odds of adult narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders increased by more than six and five times, respectively, given a prior disruptive disorder, and the odds of adult borderline, schizotypal, avoidant and paranoid personality disorders increased between two and three times given a prior sub-stance-related disorder. The results illustrate an association between mental disorders in childhood and adolescence and adult personality disorders. Identification and successful treatment of childhood psychiatric disorders may help to reduce the risk for subsequent development of an adult personality disorder. 相似文献

With a lifetime prevalence of about 3%, borderline personality disorder is a frequent and often debilitating psychiatric disorder, especially during adolescence. Most features of typical borderline pathology can be classified into three dimensions: disturbed affect regulation, identity disturbance and problems in social interaction. Within the last decade several treatment programs have been tailored to the specific needs of borderline therapy and three of them have meanwhile shown empirically proven evidence: dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mentalization-based therapy (MBT) and schema therapy. Although the studies showed clear superiority of specifically designed treatment programs compared to non-structured standard care, implementation of these programs in the German health care system is far from sufficient. Only one out of every thousand patients suffering from borderline personality disorder receives evidence-based outpatient psychotherapy. This is mirrored by the annual costs for inpatient treatment extending to 4 billion Euros, which is approximately 20% of the total costs for psychiatric care in Germany. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to determine whether a history of physical or sexual abuse is more common in children with borderline personality disorder than in other children evaluated in the same outpatient psychiatric clinic. METHOD: The authors contrasted rates of abuse in 44 children diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and in 100 comparison children. RESULTS: The borderline personality disorder group had a significantly greater prevalence of physical and combined physical/sexual abuse. Sexual abuse rates alone did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSIONS: The finding of greater abuse in the group with borderline personality disorder supports the hypothesis that a history of trauma is associated with the disorder. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the most clinically relevant baseline predictors of time to remission for patients with borderline personality disorder. METHOD: A total of 290 inpatients meeting criteria for both the Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines and DSM-III-R for borderline personality disorder were assessed during their index admission with a series of semistructured interviews and self-report measures. Diagnostic status was reassessed at five contiguous 2-year time periods. Discrete survival analytic methods, which controlled for baseline severity of borderline psychopathology and time, were used to estimate hazard ratios. RESULTS: Eighty-eight percent of the patients with borderline personality disorder studied achieved remission. In terms of time to remission, 39.3% of the 242 patients who experienced a remission of their disorder first remitted by their 2-year follow-up, an additional 22.3% first remitted by their 4-year follow-up, an additional 21.9% by their 6-year follow-up, an additional 12.8% by their 8-year follow-up, and another 3.7% by their 10-year follow-up. Sixteen variables were found to be significant bivariate predictors of earlier time to remission. Seven of these remained significant in multivariate analyses: younger age, absence of childhood sexual abuse, no family history of substance use disorder, good vocational record, absence of an anxious cluster personality disorder, low neuroticism, and high agreeableness. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that prediction of time to remission from borderline personality disorder is multifactorial in nature, involving factors that are routinely assessed in clinical practice and factors, particularly aspects of temperament, that are not. 相似文献
