Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Personality Disorders

Background:

  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis is considered reliable and valid.
  • Standardized instruments for quantifying BPD symptomatology are lacking.
  • Need for a tool to measure the degree of intrapsychic strain in BPD patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a self-rating scale for quantifying intrapsychic strain in BPD.
  • To create a measurement tool based on DSM-IV criteria and expert/patient input.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the new scale.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a 99-item self-rating scale.
  • Data collection from 308 female BPD patients.
  • Application of factor analyses to identify underlying dimensions.

  • Reliability and validity analyses were performed.

    • Main Results:

    • Factor analysis identified seven key factors: self-image, affect regulation, autoaggression, dysthymia, social isolation, intrusions, and hostility.
    • The scale demonstrated promising results in reliability and validity analyses.
    • The developed scale effectively quantifies intrapsychic strain in BPD.

    Conclusions:

    • The new self-rating scale offers a valuable tool for assessing BPD symptom severity.
    • The identified factors provide insight into the multifaceted nature of BPD symptomatology.
    • Further research can utilize this scale for clinical and research purposes in BPD.
