Tesi sul Disturbo Borderline di Personalità

[Picciosa]

Ciao a tutti! Avrei bisogno di qualche dritta/consiglio...

Ho scelto come argomento per a tesi "Il disturbo borderline di personalità" solo che, essendo alla triennale (30 pagine cirrca di tesi), non posso permettermi di trattarlo tutto...devo fare una scelta piuttosto mirata: secondo voi quale aspetto potrei approfondire??? Io non saprei proprio scegliere...tra l'altro vorrei riuscire a fare qualcosa di originale pur trattandosi di una tesi bibliografica...

Ogni consiglio è ben accetto!!!

CIAO!
Secondo me dovresti fare una scelta il più in linea possibile con l'indirizzo del tuo corso di laurea... mi spiego: ad esempio se riguarda l'area clinica potresti approfondire un sintomo specifico, se invece riguarda l'area sviluppo, potresti cercare gli indici precoci del disturbo e i fattori che nel corso dello sviluppo possono portare all'esarcebazione e così via..
Dammi qulache info in più, in cosa ti laurei esattamente e che materia insegna il prof che ti seguirà?

Ciao! Grazie!!!

Si si...ho scelto clinica...ieri ho parlato col mio relatore, abbiamo deciso di approfondire l'autodistruttività, che è uno degli aspetti principali!!!

Avete qualche articolo/libro da consigliarmi?

Qualche idea su come suddividere i capitoli (sono 30 pagine...pensavo 3 capitoli, però devo decidere come suddividerli e qualce aspetti trattare in ognuno!!!)
Mi sento così in alto mare!!!

Elements of Affective Instability Associated With Suicidal Behaviour in Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder. By: Links, Paul S.; Eynan, Rahel; Heisel, Marnin J.; Nisenbaum, Rosane. Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, Feb2008, Vol. 53 Issue 2, p112-116, 5p, 1 graph Abstract (English): Objective: To identify elements of affective instability associated with an increased likelihood of impulsivity and then to determine whether these elements characterize patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and suicidal behaviour. Method: We prospectively followed 82 individuals with BPD and a history of recurrent suicidal behaviour who recorded their current mood states, impulsivity, suicide ideation, and environmental stressors (triggers) 6 times daily over 3 weeks. Results: Our results suggested that mood amplitude was correlated with impulsivity and that 4 subgroups defined by mean scores on mood amplitude and negative mood intensity significantly differed in the number of suicidal behaviours reported in the last year. Conclusions: A subgroup of BPD patients appears to be at elevated risk for suicidal behaviour based on high mood amplitude and mean negative mood intensity. Clinicians might target this group for monitoring and interventions to reduce the likelihood of suicidal behaviour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] (AN 31208446)

Assessment of Rorschach Dependency Measures in Female Inpatients Diagnosed With Borderline Personality Disorder. By: Fowler, J. Christopher; Brunnschweiler, Benjamin; Swales, Stephanie; Brock, Johanna. Journal of Personality Assessment, Oct2005, Vol. 85 Issue 2, p146-153, 8p, 7 charts Abstract: The psychometric properties and predictive validity of the Dependency Index (DI; Hilsenroth & Bornstein, 2002) and the Rorschach Oral Dependency Scale (ROD; Masling, Rabie, & Blondheim, 1967) were examined to determine if these implicit measures of dependency predict observable attachment-seeking behavior in 66 female inpatients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. Results indicate that both scales produce excellent reliability estimates. The DI and ROD yield adequate base rates, and the distributions of scores approximate normal distributions. The DI was predictive of nursing staff observation of positive attachment/treatment compliance (r = .28, p = .02) but not excessive isolation. By contrast, the ROD predicted positive attachment/treatment compliance (r = .38, p = .002) and excessive isolation (r = –.35, p = .004). Texture responses predicted excessive isolation (r = –.25, p = .05). Discriminant validity was supported when neither dependency measure predicted hostile interactions or self-destructive behaviors. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that the ROD demonstrated incremental validity over the DI and select Comprehensive System (Exner, 1993) variables associated with dependency.

Understanding Self-mutilation in Borderline Personality Disorder. By: Paris, Joel. Harvard Review of Psychiatry, May/Jun2005, Vol. 13 Issue 3, p179-185, 7p Abstract: Self-mutilation is common in borderline personality disorder, but this pattern of behavior does not usually carry suicidal intent. Instead, it serves other functions, including regulation of dysphoric affect, communication of distress, expression of emotions, and coping with dissociative states. Multiple causal factors, including biological, psychological, and social risks, influence thresholds for self-mutilation. Management of this behavior can be informed by understanding its psychological functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] DOI: 10.1080/10673220591003614 (AN 17416254)

Social skills and sex-role functioning in borderline personality disorder: relationship to self-mutilating behavior. By: McKay, Dean; Gavigan, Carie A.; Kulchycky, Sonia. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, 2004, Vol. 33 Issue 1, p27-35, 9p Abstract: This study compared the social skills functioning and sex role affiliation of female inpatients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder who engaged in self-mutilating behavior ( n = 30) with female patients with borderline personality disorder who did not engage in such behavior ( n = 18). Patients with borderline personality disorder who engaged in self-mutilating behavior were found to have relatively poorer skills in communicating non-verbal emotional information to others and in receiving and interpreting such information from others. In terms of sex role orientation, patients who engaged in self-mutilating behavior were significantly more likely than non-mutilators to be typed as undifferentiated using the Bem Sex Role Inventory. These participants were less likely to identify with either masculine or feminine sex roles. Patients who did not self-mutilate were found to be significantly more likely than those who did self-mutilate to identify with the masculine sex role.

SEXUAL ACTING0OUT IN BORDERLINE WOMEN: IMPULSIVE SELF-DESTRUCTIVENESS OR SEXUAL ADDICTION/COMPULSIVITY? By: Richards, Shannae; Laaser, Mark. Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity, Mar1999, Vol. 6 Issue 1, p31, 15p Abstract: This article examines the nature of sexual behaviors in women who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The authors contend that the presence of borderline personality disorder is often overlooked in sexually addictive/compulsive women and that, similarly, the presence of sexual addiction/compulsivity is not diagnosed in populations of borderline women. They propose a model of the differential diagnostic features among three groups, sexually addictive/compulsives, sexually addictive/ compulsive borderlines, and nonsexually addictive/compulsive borderlines who sexually act-out. These distinctions are important for careful treatment planning. Two case studies are compared as examples of these differences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] (AN 6692113)

A neuroimmunological model of antisocial and borderline personality disorders. By: Holden, Robyn J.; Pakula, Irwin S.; Mooney, Phyllis A.. Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical & Experimental, Jul/Aug97, Vol. 12 Issue 4, p291-308, 18p, 2 diagrams Abstract: The neurobiology of the dramatic personality disorders (DSM-IV—Cluster B) has remained somewhat elusive, with the consequence that pharmacological treatment of these disorders is far from satisfactory. The clinical feature that characterizes the borderline personality disorder (BPD) is repeated acts of self-mutilation, whereas those with an antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) are disposed to repeated acts of criminality. While the antisocial group are inevitably incarcerated in penal institutions, the borderline patient, despite their acute psychological suffering, is often refused hospitalization primarily due to the absence of effective interventions. In this paper it will be hypothesized that both these disorders are due to a primary dysregulation of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), neuropeptide Y (NPY), β-endorphin and insulin. A gender bias has also been observed in relation to these two conditions with females being predisposed to developing a BPD and males an ASPD—a gender bias that can be directly attributed to β-endorphin. Other perplexing features of these disorders are the self-injurious behaviour (SIB) and frequent ammenorhoea of the BPD, a complete lack of morality often combined with heightened cognition and the ‘low serotonin syndrome’ (low serotonin, low LDL (low density lipoprotein) cholesterol and mild hypoglycaemia) of the ASPD. A neuroimmunological explanation of this curious constellation of symptoms will be advanced in this paper. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] (AN 11821999)

Grazie mille!!! Dici che riesco a trovarli on-line da qualche parte???
Grazie davvero!!!

[Picciosa]

Ho pensao d'impostarla più o meno così:

-Origni dell'autodistruttività (affonda le radici nell'infanzia etc)
-Diverse modalità di autodistruggersi (lesionismo, alcool,droghe, promiscuità sessuale...)
-Aspetti terapeutici

Peccato che sia difficile reperire materiale a riguardo...

[willy61]

Grazie mille!!! Dici che riesco a trovarli on-line da qualche parte???
Grazie davvero!!!

Online li trovo io. Tu dovresti trovarli alla biblio della tua università, o dal tuo docente di tesi. Tuttavia, se proprio non riesci a trovarli, mandami un PM con la tua mail e te li spedisco.

Buona vita

Grazie!!!

Ho chiesto in uni, hanno un database, ma òla maggior parte degli articoli che ho richiesto non sono attualmente disponibili (dicono che forse lo sono a pagamento, ma per ora aspetterei!)

Ti mando un mp, se posso approfittare...

[Picciosa]

Grazie a willy61 sono riuscita a fare un po' di luce sul materiale da inserire nella tesi, ho deciso gli aspetti da approfondire:

Abuso di droghe ed alcool, shopping compulsivo, gioco d'azzardo, disturbi alimentari, shoplifting, guida spericolata e comportamento sessuale compulsivo.

Qualcuno ha materiale da inviarmi???

[davidebutera]

[Alessietta_89]

Ciao a tutti anche io sto preparando la mia tesi triennale sul disturbo borderline della personalità e vorrei focalizzarmi sull'aspetto dell'abbandono, qualcuno ha qualche articolo o qualche libro da consigliarmi? Grazie in anticipo
