This week the Associated Press reported that a psychiatrist testifying in the case, Dr. Richard Rappaport, told jurors that he believes Alcala has borderline personality disorder (BPD). While I don't know enough about Alcala to comment on his case, I can say that it is quite rare for individuals with BPD to engage in the kinds of premeditated acts that Alcala has been accused of. In fact, this kind of violence is more often associated with two of the other Cluster B personality disorders: narcissistic and antisocial personality disorder. BPD does increase risk of violent behavior, but violent acts in people with BPD tend to be impulsive, not planned. Why is a potential diag...

While these are only a draft of the revisions, the proposed changes reflect a major change to the way that personality disorders are diagnosed. You can find the possible changes here. Of note, the APA is proposing that a general diagnosis of "personality disorder" be given to individuals who exhibit extreme deficits in personality functioning. In addition, the APA is advocating that certain subtypes of personality disorders be retained. Borderline personality disorder is reformulated as "borderline type" in this new proposed system.

The issue of motherhood is a very relevant one for BPD. Lots of people with BPD had bad experiences with a caregiver figure (notice that I didn't say mother-- because all caregivers are important to development), and many have trouble being stable parental figures for their kids. One of the most common concerns brought up by family members in the BPD forum is about the effect their BPD loved one is having on children in the family. Having BPD does not mean that you can't be a good parent. But it takes a lot of work, and sometimes people with BPD need both treatment and parent education to optimize their parenting skills.Surviving a...

In fact, Ofelia Casillas of the Chicago Tribune reported that more than 200 physicians have already taken the first certification exams in child abuse (read the full article here). The hope is that this new sub-specialty will help promote research into child abuse, as well as provide the field with much needed expertise in this area. Pediatricians with the certification will be able to consult on child abuse cases and to teach other physicians how to spot child abuse.

She wanted to know whether there is an increase in domestic violence over the holiday season. Actually, the research doesn't show any link between domestic violence and situational stress. However, there are also lots of reasons that people do not want to report incidents of relationship violence during the holiday season. If you are in a violent relationship, know that there is help.

I've had quite a few clients who have used this strategy with success: when you are stuck in a certain mood, listen to some mood incongruent music (i.e., music that conveys the opposite mood from the one you are in). For example, if you are sad, listen to something upbeat. If you are angry, listen to something soothing. Just don't get pulled into that latest Evanescence song!

The main research finding in this article was that if parents believe that their teen is likely to conform to negative behaviors (e.g., teen drinking) then then their teen actually DOES engage in more negative behavior. What does this have to do with BPD? Well, it got me thinking that perhaps the same kind of self-fulfilling prophecy could happen with BPD. There is so much stigma attached to BPD, and many people expect those with BPD to "behave badly." Is it possible that knowing what others expect of you actually makes you conform to this expectation by acting out?

A key symptom of BPD is fear of abandonment. This symptom may cause you to need frequent reassurance that abandonment is not imminent, to go to great lengths to try to avoid abandonment, and to feel devastated when someone ends a relationship with you. But people with BPD also tend to have more unstable, chaotic relationships than others, and these relationships often end prematurely due to conflict.
