Abstract:
This study examines the personality functioning of outpatients diagnosed with borderline pathology (BP) compared to a nonborderline pathology Axis I clinical control group (NonBP). Interrater reliability for all variables was in the good or excellent range. Significant differences were found examining Rorschach variables assessing dysphoric affect and affect regulation/experiencing with BP when compared to the Axis I group. Additionally, individuals with BP had more malevolent object representations than individuals with only Axis I disorders. The clinical implications of these findings with regard to borderline pathology are discussed.
