Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is characterized by dysregulation in emotions, behavior, cognition, interpersonal relationships, and self-image. It is considered a personality disorder because these traits influence how one perceives and relates to oneself and others. BPD is treatable, though historically it has been stigmatized and misunderstood. Effective treatments now exist, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, that can help manage symptoms and lead to remission for many individuals.
Positive psychology is the scientific study of human strengths and virtues. It focuses on understanding what works well for people and how to foster thriving. Some key aspects of positive psychology include positive emotions, individual traits, and social connections that contribute to well-being. Positive psychology takes a strengths-based approach to understanding ordinary human experiences rather than solely focusing on mental illness.

This document discusses cross-cultural psychiatry and the influence of culture on mental disorders. It defines culture and explains that cross-cultural psychiatry studies the prevalence and form of mental disorders in different cultures. While early psychiatrists assumed Western diagnostic categories were universal, renewed dialogue between anthropology and psychiatry established a new cross-cultural approach. Culture can contribute to psychopathology in six ways: pathogenic effects, pathoselective effects, pathoplastic effects, pathoelaborative effects, pathofacilitative effects, and pathoreactive effects. Examples are provided to illustrate each type of cultural influence.
Mental health refers to a state of well-being where one can cope with stress and work productively. Mental well-being involves having positive thoughts and feelings and managing challenges. Good mental well-being means feeling confident, maintaining relationships, having purpose, and coping with stress, while low mental well-being can be a warning sign of developing mental health conditions like anxiety or depression over time. Maintaining mental health is important so one can regularly relax, build coping skills, engage in self-care activities, manage emotions, and adopt a proactive mindset towards well-being.

Trust is fundamental to relationships but betrayal damages trust and causes trauma. Extreme betrayals like abuse require remedies like contrition, punishment, and forgiveness to facilitate healing. Treatment should help the offender acknowledge wrongdoing and the victim seek justice, either to reconcile the relationship if both want it or assist with separation if trust cannot be repaired. Acts of contrition by the offender and revenge by the victim can help repair the trust agreement if the motivation for the relationship is reconciliation. The therapist must clarify relationship goals and create a new timeline to evaluate progress.
Este documento apresenta os principais precursores da psicanálise, incluindo Philippe Pinel, considerado o pai da psiquiatria moderna, e Sigmund Freud, fundador da psicanálise. Muitos médicos e psiquiatras do século XIX, como Jean-Martin Charcot, contribuíram para o desenvolvimento inicial da psicanálise. A teoria freudiana foi posteriormente expandida e modificada por outros pensadores como Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, Melanie Klein entre outros.

Depression is a state of low mood and lack of interest that affects thoughts, feelings, behavior, and well-being. It can cause problems functioning normally and sometimes suicidal thoughts. Depression is distinguished from normal sadness by lasting longer and potentially requiring treatment. Signs include feelings of sadness, loss of interest, sleep and appetite changes, fatigue, anxiety, and thoughts of death. There are several types of depression including major depression, chronic depression, bipolar depression, and postpartum depression. Depression can be treated through medications, psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, and other therapies like interpersonal therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
This document provides information about borderline personality disorder (BPD), including its symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and research being conducted. Some key points:
- BPD is characterized by unstable moods, behavior and relationships. About 1.6% of US adults have BPD in a given year.
- Symptoms include extreme emotional reactions, unstable personal relationships and self-image, impulsiveness, self-harm, and suicidal behaviors.
- BPD typically develops during adolescence or early adulthood. Treatments include psychotherapy (such as DBT and CBT) and sometimes medications, though no medications are approved specifically for BPD.
- Research is exploring brain differences in those with B
Dr Aaron Jarden gave a presentation on workplace wellbeing and positive psychology. He began with a positive assessment where participants rated their current happiness on a scale and what they would be willing to do to increase their happiness. He then asked for any questions from participants. Next, he had participants pair up and take turns sharing stories about when they are at their best in their job. Later, he discussed the five ways to wellbeing: connect, be active, take notice, keep learning, and give. Finally, he covered peak-end theory which states that people's judgments of experiences are influenced by the peak moment and how it ended.

O documento resume os principais conceitos da Terapia Racional Emotiva Comportamental (TREC) desenvolvida por Albert Ellis. A TREC é uma abordagem cognitiva que foca em identificar e modificar crenças irracionais que levam a estados de desadaptação. Ellis desenvolveu a TREC após estudos filosóficos e sua experiência com terapia sexual, buscando uma abordagem mais eficaz do que a psicanálise. A TREC ensina a classificar pensamentos de forma racional em vez de se condenar como um todo.
This document discusses a presentation on emotional intelligence given by Randall Grayson. The presentation aims to define emotional intelligence, outline its domains, and explain why it is important. It also discusses emotionally intelligent parenting styles like emotion coaching versus dismissing, disapproving, or laissez-faire styles. Measurement options for emotional intelligence are also mentioned. The presentation seeks to provide an overview of emotional intelligence in under 90 minutes.
The document summarizes the basics of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), including its model and techniques.
CBT is based on a bio-psycho-social model that views psychopathology as stemming from maladaptive cognitions and behaviors learned through "if-then" schemas. Treatment involves identifying distorted thoughts, or "automatic thoughts", in three cognitive categories - self, others/world, future. CBT aims to overcome "cognitive blockades" and replace distortions with evidence-based thinking through collaborative, Socratic questioning between the patient and therapist. Common techniques include activity scheduling, thought monitoring/challenging, and behavioral experiments.
1) Laughter yoga was developed in 1995 in India by Dr. Madan Kataria as a way to increase laughter and its associated health benefits.
2) Research has shown links between laughter and improved heart health, including a study showing those with heart disease laughed 40% less than healthy individuals.
3) Additional studies have found laughter can improve blood flow, lower stress hormones, and increase "good" cholesterol levels, all of which can reduce the risk of heart disease.

The document discusses adolescent grief and development following the death of a loved one. It notes that while adolescents experience grief similarly to adults, their cognitive abilities and defenses lead to different outward expressions of grief. Their grief may be masked by behaviors like acting out, substance abuse, or eating disorders as they seek support. Losses are so difficult for adolescents that they can only endure strong emotions briefly before distancing themselves, leading their grief to be unrecognized at times. The death of a parent during this identity-development period can be especially challenging.
The document discusses causes of depression and treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy. It states that depression likely has multiple causes, including biological factors like genetics and neurotransmitter imbalance, psychological factors like stress and cognitive errors, and social factors like relationships and environment. It notes CBT focuses on correcting negative patterns of thinking to treat depression by addressing depressive rumination, negative automatic thoughts, and negative core beliefs.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an approach that emphasizes the systematic study of unconscious psychological forces that influence behavior and emotions. It focuses on the dynamic relationship between conscious and unconscious motivations. Sigmund Freud developed psychoanalysis, which uses concepts like the id, ego and superego to understand psychic energy and how it relates to early childhood experiences and internal conflicts. Modern psychodynamic theory continues to explore these unconscious dynamics and how they influence thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
The document introduces dialectical abstinence, an intervention developed from dialectical behavior therapy, to address substance use disorder in individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation. It proposes introducing dialectical abstinence to community substance abuse treatment centers and assessing its effectiveness in improving patient outcomes for those with comorbid substance use and emotional regulation issues. The intervention teaches individuals to synthesize thoughts of absolute abstinence with acceptance, problem-solving skills, mindfulness, and relapse prevention planning.
This document discusses precision psychiatry and the use of various "omics" technologies to advance precision medicine approaches in psychiatry. It outlines how genomics, pharmacogenomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics can provide insights into the pathophysiology of mental illnesses and help determine individualized treatment approaches. Challenges include the complexity of gene-environment interactions, barriers to implementing pharmacogenomic testing in clinical practice, and the need for more work to develop multi-omics biomarkers that can predict disease risk and treatment response at the individual level.
Este documento discute a história da psicoterapia desde a antiguidade até o iluminismo, com ênfase nas abordagens de Platão, Hipócrates, Descartes e Pinel. Também aborda os principais tipos de psicoterapia e as diferentes abordagens teóricas, enfatizando a importância da formação do terapeuta e da indicação adequada de cada caso.
Akathisia is a neurological side effect of antipsychotic and antidepressant medications characterized by inner restlessness and a constant need for movement. It is caused by a loss of dopamine function in the brain. The prevalence of akathisia ranges from 12.5-75% when taking first-generation antipsychotics. While difficult to diagnose, it can often be treated with benzodiazepines, beta-blockers like propranolol, or reducing the dose of the causative medication. Left untreated, akathisia can lead to poor treatment adherence.
This presentation was designed for a class on Management Support Systems. The emphasis is on dynamic decisions and group decision making, rather than research involving described scenarios.
A Borderline Personality Disorder Primer by Kiera Van Gelder, MFAKiera Van Gelder
This document provides an overview of borderline personality disorder (BPD). It discusses how BPD involves impulsivity and dysregulation in how a person perceives themselves and relates to others. The document outlines the nine diagnostic criteria for BPD according to the DSM-IV and describes some of the common traits and behaviors associated with the disorder such as emotional dysregulation, unstable relationships, and shifting self-image. It discusses theories on the biological and environmental factors that may contribute to the development of BPD. The document also outlines several evidence-based treatments for BPD and stages of recovery.
The document outlines "The 4 X 4 of BPD", which describes four sets of rules for making relationships with people who have borderline personality disorder (BPD) easier for those without BPD. The first set of four rules advise that a relationship with someone with BPD should focus on validating their feelings rather than behaviors, avoid judgment, allow them to solve their own problems, and understand that problems are not about you. The second set of four "Self Rules" recommend doing no harm, being brave, accepting what you cannot change and sticking to your own values while setting effective boundaries.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is defined as having an inflated sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and lack of empathy. People with NPD generally feel unhappy when they are not given admiration they believe they deserve. Signs of NPD include grandiose fantasies of success, believing they are special, requiring excessive admiration, and lacking empathy. A diagnosis requires exhibiting five of nine criteria from the DSM-5.
This document provides an overview of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), including its definition, causes, diagnosis, treatment and epidemiology. It discusses the mythology of Narcissus and Echo and defines NPD as a personality disorder characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. Causes may include genetics, environment, and brain differences. Diagnosis is based on criteria from the DSM including grandiosity, entitlement, and lack of empathy. Treatment focuses on psychotherapy but many with NPD do not seek treatment due to lack of insight. Around 1% of the general population is estimated to have NPD.
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others. Individuals with this disorder tend to interpret others' actions as threatening and hold grudges. They are highly sensitive and believe that others are out to harm them. The disorder is defined by traits such as suspiciousness, tendency to bear grudges, belief that others' actions are hostile, and preoccupation with unsubstantiated conspiracies. It has been described since the 19th century and is currently defined by diagnostic criteria involving suspiciousness and distorted beliefs about others' intentions.
This document provides information on recognizing and understanding borderline personality disorder (BPD). It begins by defining personality disorders and outlining the key traits of BPD, which include instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, affect, and marked impulsivity. It then discusses some of the challenges people with BPD face and treatments like dialectical behavior therapy. Overall, the document aims to help people understand the symptoms and experiences of those living with BPD.
Everyone has personality traits that
characterise them. These are the usual
ways that a person thinks and behaves,
which make each of us unique.
Personality traits become a personality
disorder when the pattern of thinking
and behaviour is extreme, inflexible
and maladaptive. They may cause
major disruption to a person’s life and
are usually associated with significant
distress to the self or others.
There are several major types of personality disorders and psychological disorders described in the document. Personality disorders represent long-standing and maladaptive patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience. Psychological disorders involve distress and impairment and can take many forms, from neurotic disorders like anxiety disorders to more severe conditions like schizophrenia. The document outlines various perspectives on the causes of disorders and therapeutic approaches used to treat them.
Personality disorder are a group of mental health conditions that are characterized by inflexible and atypical patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
A personality disorder is a mental health condition that involves long-lasting, all-encompassing, disruptive patterns of thinking, behavior, mood and relating to others. These patterns cause a person significant distress and/or impair their ability to function.

Characteristics Of A Personality DisorderAngela Hays
Here are the key points about mental disorders and personality disorders:
- Mental disorders involve changes in emotion, thinking or behavior that cause distress or problems functioning. Personality disorders involve enduring maladaptive patterns that deviate significantly from cultural expectations.
- Certain personality disorders like antisocial personality disorder have been linked to criminal behavior. However, most people with mental illnesses are not violent and the vast majority of violent acts are not committed by people with mental illnesses.
- It is inaccurate and potentially harmful to assume that having a mental illness means someone is dangerous. Many factors contribute to violence. Additionally, treatment and management of symptoms can help reduce risk.
- While certain high-profile criminals had diagnoses like antisocial personality disorder,

Personality consists of patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, and relating that determine how a person reacts to their inner psychological world and outer environment. Personality disorders are defined as deeply ingrained and maladaptive patterns of behavior that persist throughout adulthood. Some famous people who are speculated to have had certain personality disorders include Donald Trump (narcissistic), Princess Diana (borderline), and Adolph Hitler (antisocial). Nursing interventions for personality disorders include observing behavior, setting limits, exploring feelings, and preventing dependence on specific staff members.
This document provides an overview of delusions from multiple perspectives. It defines delusions, describes the types and content of delusions, and explains several theories about the formation and maintenance of delusional beliefs, including psychodynamic, learning, theory of mind, role of emotions, and attributional bias approaches. It also discusses factors such as conviction, extension, bizarreness, and pressure that contribute to delusional severity.

Dissociative Identity Disorder And The MediaKristin Oliver
The document discusses dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personality disorder, including its symptoms of having two or more distinct personalities, amnesia, and distress from the disorder. DID is believed to develop from childhood trauma as a coping mechanism, and treatment focuses on talk therapy to help integrate memories and personalities. The validity of DID as a mental disorder continues to be debated among psychologists.
Personality disorders are inflexible maladaptive behavior patterns that impair functioning and relationships. The document defines and describes several personality disorders including:
1. Paranoid personality disorder characterized by distrust and suspiciousness of others.
2. Schizoid personality disorder characterized by detachment from relationships and restricted emotions.
3. Schizotypal personality disorder characterized by odd thinking, behavior, and severe discomfort with others.
It provides diagnostic criteria and discusses predisposing factors for each disorder. Personality disorders are long-lasting patterns that cause significant impairment but the individual remains in touch with reality.
6. We need to understand the extreme pain of having BPD in order to
make sense of why people behave as they do:
Dr. Mary Zanarini and colleagues identified “BPD Pain” as
involving:
“Feeling misunderstood,
thinking that no one cares
“Feeling about them or that they are
overwhelmed, bad, thinking about killing
worthless, very themselves, believing they
angry, empty, are evil, feeling like a small
abandoned, child, and believing they are
furious, enraged” damaged.”
“the overall ‘amplitude’ of this pain may be a
particularly good marker for the borderline diagnosis.”
Zanarini, et al. Harv Rev Psychiatry. 1998 Nov-Dec;6(4):201-7.
7. The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of diagnoses (the DSM IV TR)
defines nine BPD symptoms. These symptoms, you’ll note, are also basic human
experiences, and so, the disorder is best defined by the severity of symptoms and
their duration.

10. Additionally, many clinicians cannot see the disorder because
they focus on the many “Co-Occuring” diagnosis, as BPD
“borders” on and combines with numerous other struggles….
Often, people with BPD will be given other diagnosis and treated specifically for those, but ultimately the core of our
suffering is never healed. This can go on for decades, leading to the conclusion that there are people who are
untreatable and incurable. When, in fact, they have not received the right education and treatment.

13. Why is BPD called a “Personality” Disorder?
Unlike many mood disorders, a personality disorder involves one’s sense of self
and perception of the world. For some of us, our experience of self and other, our
ways of behaving and reacting, become harmful and rigid. It takes great courage
and insight to go beyond our habitual ways to grasp that our personality might be
impaired. Of course, everyone’s personality is disordered to some extent. But with
“Personality Disorder,” it is sever, destructive, incapacitating and often hellish for
ourselves and those who know us.
Personality Development
involves the interaction of
Biological pre-dispositions (nature)
External Environments (nurture)
A Personality Disorder
occurs when personality traits are
inflexible and maladaptive and cause
functional impairment or
subjective distress.
22. Common beliefs researchers discovered those with BPD
have about themselves and the world, in addition to
“dysregulation”
I am endangered The world is dangerous and
malevolent
I am like a small child
I am powerless and vulnerable
I am uncared for
Zanarini, (1988) I am inherently unacceptable
Beck and Freeman (1990)
These very much contribute to our
personality and how we interact with
ourselves and the world!
23. There are recognized biological
components to BPD
Research shows abnormalities in the neural systems that
regulate emotions, impulsivity and thinking
Emotions Perception and
Regulation is Reasoning disortions
impaired Dorsolateral prefrontal system
Amygdala system
Impulsivity control problems
Anterior Cingulate
Orbitomedial Prefrontal Systems
The Best and Most Up to Date information on this is
found in Valarie Porr’s Book: Overcoming Borderline
Personality Disorder: A Family Guide for Healing and
Change
26. People with BPD and those in relationship to
them will encounter challenges specific to the
disorder
For example, intimate and close relationships are
triggering to a person with BPD
Being with and needing others brings up:
Emotional reactivity
Sense of being threatened
Paranoia and jealousy (especially perception of
betrayal)
Dif ficulty negotiating boundaries (taking on others
emotions, issues)
Heightened sensitivity to judgment and criticism
Polarized thinking / perceptions
Dif ficulty seeing others’ perspectives
Taking desperate actions in order to manage pain
of conflicts and to express feelings.
We all need to see these behaviors as “maladaptive” rather than “bad”:
those with BPD can be triggered constantly by those they are closest to ,
therefore it may seem impossible to interact with them without getting hurt
yourself.
