“…Last but not least, the study is in line with the previous reports on presence of personality disturbances in the student populations (Erdur-Baker et al, 2006;Jenks Kettmann et al, 2007;Panepinto et al, 2015;Zivin et al, 2009) and indicates that these findings also apply to the Polish population. The study results reinforce the postulates formulated earlier by researchers (e.g., Hersh, 2013;Pistorello et al, 2012) highlighting the importance of effective assessment and treatment adapted to the specificity of college context and to fit college counseling centers' needs.…”

The relationship between child sexual abuse (CSA) and later personality disorders (PDs) has been established in numerous studies. However, there are still a number of uncertainties about the specifics of this association. This study further explored the child sexual abuse survivors’ (CSASs) vulnerability to PDs by introducing the variable of personality organization (PO) and dimensions of personality pathology as conceptualized by Kernberg, and by including additional variables of CSA characteristics. It was hypothesized that in the CSA group, the occurrence of borderline personality organization (BPO) would be significantly higher than in the non-CSA group and that characteristics of abuse associated with its higher severity would prevail in individuals with BPO. The study group consisted of 329 women who completed measures of PO and experiences of CSA. The results were consistent with formulated hypotheses. Significantly more CSASs than those who did not experience CSA were characterized by close to BPO (cBPO). Moreover, CSASs group differed from the group without the CSA experience with regard to all BPO dimensions. The biggest difference between the CSA and the control group concerned the dimension referring to the difficulties in creating close, intimate relationships. With regard to CSA features, women characterized by cBPO, in contrast to those characterized by neurotic personality organization (NPO), significantly more often reported having experienced CSA more than once, involving physical contact, from more than one offender and from the offender they previously known. The findings of the study support the idea that the optimal treatment approach for CSASs should address both the personality structure and the specificity of the impact of CSA along with its characteristics.

“…TFP was originally conceptualized within a developmental psychopathology framework based in identify diffusion and polarized representations of others and the self that cut across PD categories, and authors have therefore noted that other styles and levels of severity of personality pathology may benefit from TFP principles (Caligor et al, 2007(Caligor et al, , 2018. The application of TFP principles have now been described for working with college students (Hersh, 2013), prescribing psychiatric medication (Hersh, 2015), treating patients in acute clinical care settings (Hersh et al, 2017;Zerbo et al, 2013), working with traumatized patients (Draijer & Van Zon, 2013), treating complex depression (Clarkin et al, 2019), and training psychiatric residents (Bernstein et al, 2015). Integrating TFP with other treatments has also been explored: Good psychiatric management (McCommon & Hersh, 2021), supportive psychotherapy (O. F. , behavioral activation (Levy & Scala, 2015;Yeomans et al, 2017), and modular treatments (Clarkin et al, 2015) have all been considered as potential modalities for integration.…”

“…Findings suggest that clinicians can be reluctant to diagnose due to uncertainty, perceived stigma or poor prognosis, and lack of resources for appropriate treatment (e.g. Clafferty et al, 2001; Hersh, 2013; Lewis & Appleby, 1988; Paris, 2007).…”

An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis exploring how psychiatrists conceptualise conduct disorder and experience making the diagnosis

The way professionals conceptualise CD likely impacts the identity of children given the diagnosis, yet how psychiatrists conceptualise CD, and experience making the diagnosis, is under-researched. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis explored how psychiatrists conceptualise CD and experience making the diagnosis. Semi-structured interviews captured participants’ lived experiences and associated meanings. Four superordinate themes emerged: ‘Parents and professionals are overwhelmed by their struggles with CD’; ‘What is CD? Uncertainty regarding the cause, but clarity that it is a severe problem’; ‘CD as a controversial construct’; and ‘Whose issue is it anyway? Battles with blame and responsibility’. The emerging problem-saturated narrative is discussed. Clinical implications include increased training, reflective practice and using a formulation-based approach.
