    October 2, 2014 / No Comments

    Among the BPD factors, emotion dysregulation and disturbed relatedness were both associated with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) history, but only disturbed relatedness was associated with NSSI frequency.  The relationship between non-suicidal self-injury and borderline personality disorder symptoms in a college sample Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a major concern in both clinical and non-clinical populations. It has been approximated that 65-80% of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) engage in some form of NSSI.Despite such high co-morbidity, much still remains unknown about the relationship between NSSI and BPD symptomatology.

    Learning that there is a better way than self-harm

    April 22, 2014 / No Comments

    A new programme is being rolled out across the country to teach people who are severely suicidal and who repeatedly self-harm that there is a less destructive way to manage their emotional pain.

    An Opioid Deficit in Borderline Personality Disorder: Self-Cutting, Substance Abuse, and Social Dysfunction

    October 7, 2013 / No Comments

    Excerpt: How might abnormal opioid activity help to explain the symptoms and etiology of borderline personality disorder? For decades, researchers have theorized that at least one behavior common in borderline personality disorder—self-cutting—relates to abnormalities in opioid activity. It has long been noted that patients with borderline personality disorder report that they engage in self-cutting not as a suicidal act but, rather, as a means to relieve psychic pain. Many patients report that they do not feel physical pain at the moment when they cut themselves; instead, cutting engenders feelings of relief or well-being. One view of cutting in borderline personality disorder is that it represents a method of endogenous opioid…
