Article Synopsis
- This study explores the differences in diagnosing complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and borderline personality disorder (BPD) among individuals affected by intimate partner violence (IPV).
- A literature review highlighted that while cPTSD, PTSD, and BPD share some symptoms, they exhibit unique clinical patterns, with cPTSD being more relevant to IPV victims and interpersonal violence disturbances more common in offenders.
- The research indicates that cPTSD can be a risk factor for both IPV victims and perpetrators, while PTSD often results from such experiences, emphasizing the need for further research to inform better prevention strategies for IPV.
Purpose in life, which is a central component of the eudaimonic paradigm of well-being, has been sparsely examined in adolescence. This is unfortunate as adolescence is characterised by identity development and is a key period for the onset of mental disorders. To inform future research on well-being and purpose in life in adolescents, we drew factors from several fields of research, including mental health and psychological factors, and explored which factors were most strongly associated with purpose in life.
