Article Synopsis
- Differentiating borderline personality disorder (BPD) from bipolar I disorder (BD) is difficult; assessing personality functioning, self-identity, and interpersonal relations can aid in diagnosing these disorders.* -
- A study evaluated 34 BPD patients, 28 BD patients, and 27 healthy controls using specific scales to measure personality organization, revealing that BPD patients had greater impairments in identity and aggression but lower issues with moral values compared to BD patients.* -
- Findings indicate that BPD patients exhibit more severe personality functioning deficits than those with BD, suggesting the need for careful evaluation of personality organization to enhance diagnosis and treatment planning.*
Background: Assessment of personality functioning in different stages of psychotic disorders could provide valuable information on psychopathology, course of illness and treatment planning, but empirical data are sparse.
Aims: To investigate personality functioning and sense of self in individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) for psychosis and with first-episode psychosis (FEP) in comparison with a clinical control group of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and healthy controls.
Method: In a cross-sectional design, we investigated personality functioning (Structured Interview of Personality Organization, STIPO; Level of Personality Functioning Scale, LPFS) and disturbances of the basic self (Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience, EASE) in 107 participants, comprising 24 individuals at UHR, 29 individuals with FEP, 27 individuals with BPD and 27 healthy controls.
Background: The Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders as well as the upcoming IDC-11 have established a new focus on diagnosing personality disorders (PD): personality functioning. An impairment of self and interpersonal functioning in these models represents a general diagnostic criterion for a personality disorder. Little is known so far about the impairment of personality functioning in patients with other mental disorders than PD.
