In the Fullness of Time
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) has been widely viewed as a chronic disorder, which has led many clinicians to avoid treating patients with this diagnosis. BPD is also one of the most stigmatized of psychiatric disorders, due to the awkward manner in which these individuals attempt to get their needs met. As such those with BPD are increasingly marginalized by society and prevented from accessing quality care. In the Fullness of Time debunks the common myth that BPD is incurable, drawing on the findings of the NIMH-funded study, the McLean Study of Adult Development, which has found that BPD has the best symptomatic outcome of all major psychiatric illnesses. Citing and analyzing the r...
Role of Sexual Abuse in the Etiology of Borderline Personality Disorder

Zanarini Rating Scale for Borderline Personality Disorder (ZAN-BPD)
The Zanarini Rating Scale for BPD is a nine-item, validated, clinician-based diagnostic interview. It assesses the severity of DSM-IV-based Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms. This scale also measures meaningful changes in symptoms over time. The 0-4 points rating ranges from No Symptoms (0) to Severe Symptoms (4) for the following categories: Affective: Inappropriate anger / frequent angry acts; chronic feelings of emptiness; mood instability Cognitive: Stress-related paranoia / dissociation; severe identity disturbance based on false personal beliefs Impulsive: Self-mutilation and/or suicidal efforts; two other forms of impulsivity Interpersonal: Unstable interpersonal relationships; frantic efforts to avoid abandonment
Mclean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD)
The McLean Screening Instrument-BPD is a 10-item, yes/no, self-report patient screening scale. It is used with an undiagnosed population to identify people who need further evaluation for BPD. The scale demonstrates strong sensitivity (the degree to which it correctly identifies patients who do have the disorder), as well as strong specificity (the degree to which it correctly identifies patients who do not have the disorder).
Borderline Personality Disorder
Addressing all aspects of borderline personality disorder (BPD) from the course, epidemiology, and history of the disease to the latest guidelines in patient diagnosis, pharmacotherapy, and psychotherapy, this reference serves as an all-encompassing reference for the mental health professional seeking authoritative coverage of BPD identification, development, and treatment.
Impulsivity and Compulsivity
Traditionally, impulsive and compulsive behaviors have been categorized as fundamentally distinct. However, patients often exhibit both of these behaviors. This common comorbidity has sparked renewed interest in the factors contributing to the disorders in which these behaviors are prominent. Impulsivity and Compulsivity applies a provocative spectrum model to this psychopathology. The spectrum model is consistent with a dimensional model for psychopathology and considers the dynamic interaction of biopsychosocial forces in the development of impulsive and compulsive disorders. In this important work on impulsive/compulsive psychopathology, leading researchers and clinicians share their expe...
