Borderline patients may discharge aggressive impulses through acting out or physical illness. This study found these behaviors synchronized before symptom remission, linked to increased verbalization of aggression.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychoanalysis
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Psychoanalytic theory posits acting out and somatization as outlets for aggression in borderline personality disorder.
  • Empirical investigation is needed to understand the relationship between these behaviors and treatment progression.

Observation:

  • This study longitudinally tracked acting out and physical illness in one borderline patient during long-term hospitalization.
  • Daily behavioral scores were analyzed using time series methods to identify patterns.

Findings:

  • Acting out and physical illness became increasingly synchronized as the patient's treatment advanced.
  • This synchronization preceded the patient's symptom remission, suggesting a transitional phase.

Implications:

  • The findings suggest that synchronized acting out and somatization may indicate progress in managing aggressive impulses.
  • Increased verbalization of aggression within fantasy and memory appears crucial for symptom remission in borderline patients.
