Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and eating disorders (EDs) both cause significant distress and co-occur at rates higher than expected, signifying potential overlapping regulatory mechanisms between both disorders. More specifically, both disorders involve emotion regulation deficits, suggesting they may share specific maladaptive regulatory components. The present study sought to examine the predictive role of emotion dysregulation within the comorbidity between EDs and BPD. A sample of psychiatric outpatients (N = 872) collected from a longitudinal study spanning the mid-1990s to 2015 completed the Structured Clinical Interview for for Axis I Disorders as well as a measure of emotion regulation strategies, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, in order to assess overall functioning. In a regression analysis, BPD was significantly predicted by emotion regulation deficits and was strongly related to categories of emotion dysregulation. EDs were not significantly predicted by emotion regulation deficits but did predict BPD diagnoses (B = -0.14, < .001). Overall, BPD demonstrated strong relationships to emotion regulation deficits. Results indicate that targeted treatment focusing on emotion regulation deficits may be particularly indicated with co-occurring BPD and ED diagnoses.

Predictive Factors of Resilience in Early Childhood Care Professionals.
Healthcare (Basel)

Early childhood intervention professionals have higher rates of work-related stress and burnout compared to other health professionals. Furthermore, this is exacerbated by exposure to negative emotions, the stigma associated with mental health, and even the stress experienced by families due to the impact of having a child with a developmental disability. The aim of this study was to determine whether emotional intelligence and empathy were able to predict resilience in early childhood care professionals.

: Transitional attachment objects, such as blankets, play a critical role in childhood by helping children manage separation anxiety and regulate emotions. Although attachment to these objects often decreases as children grow older, it may persist into adulthood and influence emotion regulation and stress responses. Their influence on emotion regulation in adulthood remains uncertain.

Background/objectives: High levels of emotional intelligence (EI) and resilience in primary care physicians (PCPs) can help them communicate better with patients, build stronger relationships with colleagues, and foster a positive and collaborative workplace. However, studies have indicated that primary care physicians (PCPs) often do not focus enough on developing these skills. Consequently, the purpose of this mixed methods study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an experiential online training (EOT) intervention in enhancing the EI and resilience of PCPs who treat patients with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs).

Background: Residual symptoms in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) in remission are common, and they contribute to significant functional impairment and distress. The incomplete efficacy of pharmacological treatments and improvements in psychotherapeutic approaches has led to renewed interest in psychotherapy for this disorder. However, there are fewer studies addressing the same.
