- Jacob is a 26 years old man. Despite extraordinary intelligence John was not able to complete or participate in any educational program. He wanted to have a normal life with a family and friends, but thought that he was rootless and he felt that other people thought that he was peculiar or odd. He felt that he was outside. As a child he went to various schools because his parents moved around. He was thought of as a lonely wolf and did not participate in the social life or games of sports with his peers. During school class he was often absent minded being absorbed in his own thoughts and fantasies. From around the age of thirteen he became interested in computers and was quite advanced in his understanding of mathematics. He became exceedingly isolated with his computer as his sole companion.
- When Jordan hit her early teens there were fewer and fewer good times. Jordan became increasingly sullen and angry. She started acting out more and more -- yelling at her parents and teachers and engaging in impulsive behaviors, like running away from home. She at times would have a close friend or two at school, but some conflict seemed to always arise and that friendship would end. Jordan talked about how alone and bored she felt, how no one understood her. Again, this seemed like it might just be typical adolescent behavior, so while her parents were starting to get concerned, they weren't yet ready to seek help. By the time Jordan turned 17, things were starting to get really out of control. Jordan's experienced serious emotional instability, her mood changes were totally unpredictable, and could turn on a dime. She was having fights with her parents almost daily, and they would usually involve her yelling and throwing things. At times, she seemed terrified to be without her mother, at other times she would leave the house in a fit of intense rage and not return for a few days. One day, Jordan's mom noticed scars on Jordan's arms. When her mother first confronted Jordan about them, Jordan told her the cat had scratched her. But when pressed she admitted that she was self-harming because she felt so lonely and bored and this was the only thing that made her feel better.
- Mary, a 35 year-old caseworker is discussed. Mary does not have much of a social life, but rather devotes herself to helping others. Mary has a quite extensive medical history, including chronic pain in her right hand and forearm, which is actually what led her to meet with a psychiatrist. She displays frequent gaps in her memory (especially memory for events that occurred in her childhood). Mary describes her frequent gaps in memory, which she realized when she noticed that her gas tank would often be almost full when she returned home from work, but almost empty in the morning. After Mary began to keep track of the odometer reading she realized that 50-100 miles were often put on the car overnight, even though she could not remember driving anywhere.
- When Linda first began to misbehave, her mother attributed her behavior to a combination of adolescent rebellion and grief over the divorce. Linda's initial misconduct consisted of skipping classes and smoking cigarettes on the front porch of her house, a fact which Linda's mother learned from neighbors. When confronted by her mother, Linda ran away from home, convincing a friend to hide her in the basement for three days while Linda's mother and police conducted a frantic search. When she finally returned home, she seemed unaware that she had caused her mother any pain. Telling this story many years later, she seems primarily amused by the fact that her behavior gained her additional freedom to do as she pleased. She frequently stole money from her mother's purse, reasoning that this was family money to which she was therefore entitled. She used it to buy cigarettes and beer, often seducing the older brother of another friend to make purchases for her.
- Scott seeks attention every opportunity he gets, and this often interferes with his ability to function in his job as manager. In addition to attention-seeking, Scott often interrupts his subordinates from working to discuss his personal life. This behavior not only affects his ability to work, but it interferes with the overall productivity of the office. It is Scott’s belief that he should not be seen as just a boss, but more of a close friend and even family member, to the dismay of his subordinates. This expectation of a close bond leads Scott to display rapidly shifting emotions, from exuberant and hopeful, to depressed and hopeless. There seems to be a lack of consistency in his behavior, rather a dramatic shift from extremely happy to irreversibly sad. In Scott’s depressed state, he feels as if the entire office should be focused on his problem and that others’ problems pale in comparison, such as his birthday being of more importance than a coworkers cancer scare. When he is happy, however, work at the office ceases to a halt, as his well-being is put before the needs of the company. In addition to his attention-seeking and rapidly shifting emotions, the patient is easily suggestible and is often the victim of pyramid schemes and persuasive coworkers. Scott also shows a pattern of theatric behavior, including different characters, voices, and personalities, in which he uses as distractions on a constant basis.
- Jenna does not feel she has any problems, other than not receiving the attention and recognition she feels she deserves. Her achievements are not commensurate with her desire to be "worshipped," and adored. Jenna feels she is entitled to special treatment and when this fails to occur within her career or social life, she becomes explosive and stubborn. She has an excessive need for admiration, as evidenced by her choice of careers. She seems to have no empathy regarding others, and on the rare occasions empathy is displayed by Jenna, it is not genuine empathy, but a means to an end. In other words, she fakes empathy to manipulate others, or for personal gain. Jenna repeatedly poisoned a co-worker in the hopes of dating one of the "hot" EMT workers who came to the rescue. Jenna is severely jealous of her co-star in her current television series, and is constantly looking for ways to undermine him. She dreams of unparalleled success and believes she is the most beautiful, talented woman to grace this planet. While Jenna does not see this as a problem, the rest of society fails to agree with her assessment of herself, and this causes much frustration for Jenna. Jenna reacts very unfavorably to even the slightest criticism, as she believes herself to be perfect and unique. If she is criticized, she feels that the person doing the critique, "just doesn't understand her," because they are not as special and wonderful as she.
- Genetics. Some studies of twins and families suggest that personality disorders may be inherited or strongly associated with other mental disorders among family members. Environmental factors. Many people with borderline personality disorder have a history of childhood abuse, neglect and separation from caregivers or loved ones. Brain abnormalities. Some research has shown changes in certain areas of the brain involved in emotion regulation, impulsivity and aggression. In addition, certain brain chemicals that help regulate mood, such as serotonin, may not function properly.
