There is marked impulsivity that begins by early adulthood (DSM-IV™, 1994, p. 650). The ICD-10 refers to BPD as the Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder which is characterized by impulsivity, unpredictable moods, outbursts of emotion, behavioral explosions, quarrelsome behavior, and conflicts with others. The ICD-10 divides this category into two types: the impulsive type (characterized by emotional instability and lack of impulse control) and the borderline type (characterized by disturbances of self-image, aims, and internal preferences; chronic feelings of emptiness; intense and unstable interpersonal relationships; and self-destructive behavior) (ICD-10, 1994, p. 228). Benjamin notes that individuals with BPD often suffer from thought disorders, affective disorders, dissociative disorders, alcohol and substance abuse, eating disorders, and anxiety disorders. She suggests that with BPD, everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. BPD involves disorder in every domain of function: cognition, mood, and behavior (Benjamin, 1993, p. 113).

Borderline Personality Disorder Borderline Personality Disorder Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most controversial diagnoses in psychology today. Since it was first introduced in the DSM, psychologists and psychiatrists have been trying to give the somewhat amorphous concepts behind BPD a concrete form. Kernberg's explication of what he calls Borderline Personality Organization is the most general, while Gunderson, though a psychoanalyst, is considered by many to have taken the most scientific approach to defining BPD. The Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines and the DIB-Revised were developed from research done by Gunderson, Kolb, and Zanarini. Finally, there is the "official" DSM-IV definition. Some researchers, like Judith Herman, believe that BPD is a name given to a particular manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorder: in Trauma and Recovery, she theorizes that when PTSD takes a form that emphasizes heavily its elements of identity and relationship disturbance, it gets called BPD; when the somatic (body) elements are emphasized, it gets called hysteria, and when the dissociative / deformation of consciousness elements are the focus, it gets called DID/MPD. Others believe that the term "borderline personality" has been so misunderstood and misused that trying to refine it is pointless and suggest instead simply scrapping the term.

45. An Equifinality Model Of Borderline Personality Disorder An Equifinality Model of borderline personality disorder. Borderline personalitydisorder (BPD) affects as many as six million Americans. http://www.aaets.org/arts/art20.htm

An Equifinality Model of Borderline Personality Disorder by Joseph Santoro, Ph.D., Michael Tisbe, M.D, Michael Katsarakes Supervised Lifestyles Behavioral Heath Systems Borderline personality disorder (BPD) affects as many as six million Americans. It accounts for about 25% of all psychiatric hospitalizations. As many as thirteen percent of males and seven percent of females commit suicide (Stone, 1990). Approximately, 69% of people with BPD are also substance abusers (Miller et al., 1993). The causes of BPD are not well understood. Therapist folklore often labels people with BPD as difficult and treatment-resistant patients. This article outlines a clinical model of BPD. The model is based upon the clinical practice of the authors and the research literature concerning the correlates of BPD. The model identifies the roles played by traumatic environmental conditioning, its effect on neurobiological processes, and biological vulnerabilities in the development of BPD. In this regard, the model postulates two factors which can lead, singly or in combination with equifinality, to BPD: early childhood Psychotraumatic Stress (PTS) exposure (Factor I) and Biologic Vulnerability (BV) (Factor II). Equifinality is a systems theory concept (Miller, 1978) which means "that a final state of any living system [borderline personality disorder] may be reached from different initial conditions [Factor I, Factor II or both] and in different ways [antecedent or consequent biological and family system dysfunction]." The bracketed illustrations were added by us.

LIVING IN THE DEAD ZONE Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison Understanding the Borderline Personality Disorder Gerald A. and Ralph M. Faris SUMMARY AUTHORS BIO ORDER READING ROOM ... Preface Summary This surprising new book by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Gerald Faris and his brother, Sociologist Dr. Ralph Faris, explains in detail, how Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison, the 'king and queen' of rock and roll in the 1960's, suffered from a little understood psychiatric disorder that eventually took their lives. The book is clinical in theme, lyrical in style and deeply sympathetic to the real suffering of Janis and Jim. It raises and answers the following questions: Why did they behave so outrageously? Why were they so self-destructive? What did they have in common? What could have helped them? What really killed them? The Faris' analysis differs from previously published works in that it provides an explanation for, rather than just a description of the outrageous behaviors that led to Janis and Jim's premature deaths. To form the conclusions in their book, they carefully analyze the voluminous literature ad film available about the two performing artists. One of the most captivating parts of the book is found in the imaginary but revealing psychotherapy sessions with Janis and then with Jim. The sessions are realistically constructed and are both entertaining and sympathetic. They will help to clarify the nature and complexity of this disorder for both the laymen and the clinician.

Try HelpHorizons home resource library disorders ... support forums Borderline Personality Disorder TREATMENT Table of Contents Introduction Psychotherapy Hospitalization Medications ... Self-Help Introduction Borderline personality disorder is experienced in individuals in many different ways. Often, people with this disorder will find it more difficult to distinguish between reality from their own misperceptions of the world and their surrounding environment. While this may seem like a type of delusion disorder to some, it is actually related to their emotions overwhelming regular cognitive functioning. People with this disorder often see others in "black-and-white" terms. Depending upon the circumstances and situation, for instance, a therapist can be seen as being very helpful and caring toward the client. But if some sort of difficulty arises in the therapy, or in the patient's life, the person might then begin characterizing the therapist as "bad" and not caring about the client at all. Clinicians should always be aware of this "all-or-nothing" lability most often found in individuals with this disorder and be careful not to validate it. Therapists and doctors should learn to be a "rock" when dealing with a person who has this disorder. That is, the doctor should offer his or her stability to contrast the client's lability of emotion and thinking. Many professionals are turned-off by working with people with this disorder, because it draws on many negative feelings from the clinician. These occur because of the client's constant demands on a clinician, the constant suicidal gestures, thoughts, and behaviors, and the possibility of self-mutiliating behavior. These are sometimes very difficult items for a therapist to understand and work with.

This is the instruction sheet I give to my patients with the Borderline Personality Disorder. It is for information purposes only. Leland M. Heller, M.D. January 18th, 1998 The Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a devastating neurological illness that causes enormous psychological damage, and usually destroys lives. The suicide risk is approximately 9%. The risks of substance abuse, auto and work accidents, divorces, AIDS, child and spousal abuse, and early death are high enough to take this disorder very seriously. Treatment includes medication, counseling, and "retraining the brain." Medication is virtually always needed, and can make a profound difference. SSRI's: The main symptoms treated by SSRI's include: mood swings, chronic anger, emptiness, boredom, and depression. Prozac has been the most thoroughly studied and is very effective. Alternatives include Paxil and Effexor - choosing these medicines instead of Prozac would be for other illnesses and/or side effects. Dosage increases usually are effective very quickly, often in one day. Dosage increases or decreases should not be more often than every week, unless directed to do so by a physician. Side effects can include shakiness, fatigue, stimulation, insomnia, sleepiness, or nausea. NEUROLEPTICS: Excess production and/or increased sensitivity to the brain chemical "dopamine" seems to be a major cause of rage, anxiety, despair, self-destructive thoughts and impulses, weird body sensations, paranoid thoughts, impulsive behavior and dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair). There are many drugs in this class, but Haldol appears to be the best - it works quickly, with minimal side effects and in low doses (generics usually don't work). The antihistamine Benadryl will reverse a potential side effect where the muscles go into spasm - notify your physician(s) should this happen. Long term chronic use, especially in the elderly and/or with high doses, can cause permanent side effects impairing muscle control. If daily use is needed for a long time, additional medication is likely necessary.

Mitral Valve Prolapse Borderline Personality Disorder Borderline Personality Disorder Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental illness characterized by pervasive instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior. This instability often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual's sense of self-identity. Originally thought to be at the "borderline" of psychosis, people with BPD suffer from a disorder of emotion regulation. While less well known than schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness), BPD is more common, affecting 2 percent of adults, mostly young women. There is a high rate of self-injury without suicide intent, as well as a significant rate of suicide attempts and completed suicide in severe cases. Patients often need extensive mental health services, and account for 20 percent of psychiatric hospitalizations. Yet, with help, many improve over time and are eventually able to lead productive lives.
