Borderline personality in Britain: a preliminary study
1Adult Department, Tavistock Clinic, London.
Abstract:
Patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital in England were interviewed using both the Present State Examination (PSE) to obtain a standardized diagnosis and the Diagnostic interview for Borderlines (DIB) to measure their borderline status. Comparison of the patients' symptom profiles showed that borderline patients were similar to neurotic patients, but had greater irritability. They were also more likely to receive a clinical diagnosis of hysterical personality disorder with neurotic depression by a British clinician.
