This study differentiates "mature" and "immature" borderline hysterics based on developmental factors and coping styles. Findings suggest distinct life history risks and defense mechanisms differentiate these hysterical personality subtypes.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Psychology
  • Personality Disorders
  • Psychosomatic Medicine

Context:

  • Investigated 366 psychosomatic inpatients diagnosed with hysterical personality traits.
  • Utilized the DOPSY-system and Borderline-Syndrome-Index (BSI) for classification.
  • Validated findings with the Freiburger Personality Inventory (FPI).

Purpose:

  • To empirically differentiate between "mature" and "immature" (borderline) hysterics.
  • To identify distinct developmental lines, coping styles, and defense mechanisms in hysterical subtypes.

Summary:

  • 146 patients meeting hysteria criteria were divided into "mature" (n=79) and "immature" (n=67) borderline hysterics.
  • Both groups showed similar demographics and symptomatology (ICD-10 F40-45).

    • Suggests that coping and defense styles are key differentiators between these subtypes.
    • Provides empirical basis for refining diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to hysterical personality disorders.
