Child maltreatment is an etiological factor in borderline personality disorder (BPD), which may be transmitted to the children of mothers with BPD. We assessed maltreatment in 36 children aged 4–7 whose mothers have BPD and in 34 normative comparisons. Children whose mothers have BPD were more likely to have experienced sexual abuse, physical abuse, and neglect than were normative comparisons. Mothers’ self-reported borderline features were significantly correlated with children's maltreatment. Neglect was associated with mothers’ affective instability, identity disturbance, negative relationships, and self-harm; sexual abuse was associated with mothers’ identity disturbance, and negative relationships; and physical abuse was associated with mothers’ self-harm. Maltreatment mediated the relationship between all four of mothers’ borderline features and children's narrative representations of the caregiver–child relationship, which included fear of abandonment, role reversal, and mother–child relationship expectations. The authors discuss results in the context of risk for developing BPD in early adulthood and early preventive interventions targeting children's representations.

Difficulty with boredom was eliminated from the formal diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD) in 1994 based on significantly limited, unpublished data. However, it is apparent in clinical practice that boredom remains relevant to BPD. This review synthesizes empirical research, with consideration of theoretical accounts, to critically examine the relevance of boredom to BPD. We first briefly review issues in defining and measuring boredom and offer an expanded conceptualization for BPD, which includes the notion of boredom reactivity, before turning to boredom’s differentiation from and overlap with feelings of emptiness, with which it was paired prior to its removal from the DSM. We then discuss perspectives on boredom’s significance in BPD, briefly touching on its relevance in other personality disorders. We propose a Boredom Cascade Model that articulates how boredom and boredom reactivity interact with identity disturbance and chronic emptiness to create escalating patterns of behavioral dysregulation and make recommendations for research and treatment.

Objective: This paper aims to provide a selective review of the co-occurrence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and violence, a much less explored aspect of aggression with this cohort. Conclusions: Violence in BPD patients is expressed particularly towards intimate partners and known persons, usually in the homes of perpetrators. Anger, impulsivity and avoiding abandonment are traits associated with violence while suicidal behaviour, identity disturbance and affective instability are not. These patients are disproportionately found in higher levels of secure care although most violence occurs in the community. In males it is more likely driven by substance use, often at transition from adolescence to adulthood, while more severe borderline pathology is implicated in women. Early identification of an at-risk cohort is recommended with development of collaborative safety plans with patients that include identification of a ‘risk signature’ that guides risk management. A multi-modal approach using risk management protocols with availability of contingency plans within a multi-agency forum in a local context is recommended.
