“…First, in order to successfully intervene in the transgenerational transmission of abuse, early and targeted intervention to address those personality characteristics that create risk for both the caregiver and the child is essential. Similar to other studies of females with BPD in the community (Korfine and Hooley, ), the current sample did not demonstrate the severity of self‐injury and adaptive functioning deficits commonly observed amongst females in secure settings. Treatment for those with BPD who come to the attention of child protection services might be better to focus on interpersonal dysfunction and emotional dysregulation.…”

A community‐based cross‐sectional study was conducted to explore the relationship between parental personality disorder and child maltreatment. This article reports on the findings of a study focusing on a subsample of 46 maltreating mothers who had all been referred for psychological assessment in the context of care proceedings. Of the 46 mothers, 13 met the full diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD). Of the remaining 33 mothers, 18 presented with strong features of BPD but did not meet the full criteria and 18 presented with no significant features of BPD. Results indicated that maltreating mothers with diagnosed BPD were more likely than those with BPD features and those with no significant features to have engaged in the perpetration of physical and multiple (physical abuse and neglect) types of child maltreatment. No association was found between BPD and child neglect alone. Compared to the two other groups, mothers with BPD were identified as a particularly traumatised subgroup. The tentative conclusion that may be drawn from these findings is that maltreating mothers with BPD may represent a particularly high‐risk subgroup. The results are discussed with reference to existing empirical research. Implications for clinical practice and future research are then considered. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Key Practitioner Messages BPD is a risk factor for interpersonal violence. Results of this study suggest that BPD may also be a risk factor for the perpetration of physical child abuse and multiple maltreatment (physical abuse and neglect) amongst mothers involved in care proceedings. Maltreating mothers with BPD may represent a particularly high‐risk subgroup.

“…Likewise, the correlations found suggested a high degree of overlap between these constructs. Previous studies have found that participants with high scores in self-reports assessing BPD traits present higher levels of depressive symptomatology, negative affect, distress, emotional dysregulation, and psychopathological symptoms (Gardner & Qualter, 2009a;Korfine & Hooley, 2009;Leung & Leung, 2009;Trull, 1995). Paralleling this trend, studies carried out in patients with BPD also found affective and psychopathological alterations and high rates of comorbidity (Becker et al, 2006;Johansen et al, 2004;McGlashan et al, 2000).…”

“…Along this continuum we might encounter intermediate phenotypic expressions, which, though not reaching clinical level, would be associated with greater current psychopathological intensity, severity and impairment, and possibly with higher risk of future development of psychopathological disorders. In this regard, participants with high scores on self-reports assessing BPD traits or with subclinical levels have been linked with more depressive symptomatology, negative affect, distress, emotional dysregulation, psychopathological symptoms, and BPD diagnosis (Gardner & Qualter, 2009a;Korfine & Hooley, 2009;Leung & Leung, 2009;Trull, 1995).…”

The main purpose of this study was to explore the dimensionality of the borderline personality disorder in nonclinical young adults by means of the Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ; Poreh et al., 2006). We also studied the phenotypic expression of the borderline personality traits as a function of participants' gender and age, and the relationship between BPQ subscales and measures of depressive symptoms, anxiety, stress, hallucinatory predisposition, and paranoid ideation. The sample comprised 809 young adults, 562 (69.5%) were women, with a mean age of 20.2 years (SD = 2.9). The results indicate that the BPQ self-report has adequate psychometric properties. The levels of internal consistency for the BPQ subscales ranged between .78 and .93. Analysis of the internal structure of the BPQ subscales yielded a one-dimensional solution. In contrast, second-order principal components analysis at the item level yielded a five-dimensional solution. Likewise, statistically significant differences in the mean scores of the borderline personality traits as a function of participants' gender and age were found. The BPQ subscales correlated significantly with measures of depression, anxiety, stress, paranoid ideation, and hallucinatory predisposition. These results help to improve our understanding of the dimensional structure of the borderline personality in the general population. Future research should continue to identify participants who are at risk for the development of borderline personality disorder and facilitating the development of early detection and prevention programs.

“…The findings are, however, limited by a number of methodological weaknesses: (1) a proportion of the study utilized retrospective data, which has been argued to be subject to distortions of memory (Campbell & Porter, ); (2) the cross‐sectional design, which does not permit any causal conclusions to be made ( note : the model of reverse causation was not statistically viable, which provides support for the validity of our findings); (3) the use of self‐report measures, which creates the likelihood for biassed data and inflated relationships through common method variance; and (4) the high prevalence of threshold BPD symptoms (26.3%), which is atypical of most studies and may suggest a sample bias or that the PDQ‐4‐BPD subscale resulted in a high number of false positives. The prevalence reported in our study could be related to a common limitation of all volunteer participant recruitment drives, self‐selection (Korfine & Hooley, ). The advertisement used to recruit participants referred to ‘how childhood events and current relationships affect adult personality.’ Hence, individuals who perceived themselves to have difficulties in these areas might have shown a greater interest in participating.…”

Contemporary theories of borderline personality disorder (BPD) have detailed the functional importance of emotional invalidation in meaningful relationships as an aetiological and perpetuating factor of its core disturbances. The purpose of our study was to test aspects of Linehan's (1993) biosocial and Fruzzetti (1996) and Fruzzetti, Shenk, and Hoffman's (2005) validation/invalidation family interactions transactional theories in a community sample of 186 participants. Results indicated that a multi-mediational path model of invalidation in meaningful relationships, emotion dysregulation, poor distress tolerance and BPD symptoms provided a perfect fit to the data and accounted for a substantial amount of variance in BPD (38%). The results provided support for these complimentary theories of BPD, which hold promise for clinical applications and future research.
