Abstract Background Emotional dysregulation seems to be a core feature of Borderline Personality Disorders (BPD). In addition, recent research in the adolescent population has shown that suicidal behaviours have been associated with maladaptive strategies of emotion regulation. Methods This study examined the relative contributions of emotional dysregulation to suicide attempt history in a clinical sample of borderline adolescents. Data were analyzed from 85 participants of the Collaborative European Research Network on Borderline Personality Disorder. Participants completed measures of BPD traits and symptoms, suicide behaviours, emotional dysregulation, attachment styles and lifetime depressive disorders. Results In an SEM model, lifetime depressive disorders and insecure attachment styles have a significant direct effect on lifetime suicide attempt, but only lifetime depressive disorders have an indirect effect through emotion dysregulation. The results suggest that emotional dysregulation has a mediating role in suicide attempts among BPD adolescents. Conclusions These findings call for the development of interventions targeting the role of emotion dysregulation in effectively predicting and preventing suicidality in borderline adolescents.

Interpersonal problems are among the most severely impairing, difficult-to-manage, and intransigent of borderline personality disorder (BPD) features and therefore require special attention in treatment. Emotion dysregulation and related mood-dependent behaviors among individuals with BPD typically occur in the context of interpersonally relevant events or stressors, signifying the central role of interpersonal and attachment-related concerns for these patients. Two prominent interpersonal themes in those with BPD are discussed: interpersonal hypersensitivity and angry or aggressive behavior. The chapter provides a brief case illustration of how these themes might emerge in psychotherapy and recommends explicit assessment of interpersonal problems and aggression to enhance risk evaluation, case formulation, treatment planning, and monitoring progress in treatment.

The Relationship

Abstract The present study analyzes the relationship between maladaptive beliefs, personality traits, and Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms by focusing in the mediating role of beliefs in the prediction between personality and psychiatric disorders. The sample consisted of 823 adults aged between 18 and 39 years (M = 24.09, SD = 4.71), who answered a questionnaire of symptoms and beliefs for Borderline Personality Disorder and Big Five Personality Inventory. The predictive model that fit better to the data indicates Neuroticism and Conscientiousness as predictors of Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms, mediated by maladaptive belief patterns. In this sense, it is possible to conclude that both personality traits and maladaptive beliefs are important for the understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder. The theoretical implications of this result and the limitations of the study are discussed.
