Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis can be challenging.
  • Understanding symptom overlap between BPD and other disorders is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the symptom profiles of patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder using the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB).
  • To assess the diagnostic similarities and differences between borderline and neurotic patients.
  • To examine the clinical diagnoses given by British clinicians to patients with borderline traits.
