“…Affective instability is a key feature of BPD (Winter, 2016) and some researchers have suggested changing the name of BPD to emotional regulation disorder (Paris, 2018). Others believe that patients with BPD need to understand the interpersonal source of their emotional symptoms and learn to work on their relational issues (Brickell, 2018). Therapists should help the patients gain confidence in their emotion regulation measures as regular skill training improves emotional intelligence in BPD (Jahangard et al, 2012).…”

Emotional quotient is multifaceted and examines different aspects of emotional and social intelligence. We tried to compare emotional quotient among young patients with borderline personality disorder or traits and healthy controls. A cross-sectional study was performed with three samples in a teaching hospital affiliated with a University of Medical Sciences. In total, 90 people were assigned to three groups of borderline personality, borderline personality trait, and healthy control, each including 30 male participants. Mean (SD) ages were 22.4 (1.7), 22.8 (1.3), and 22.3 (1.3) years, respectively. We measured the scores of the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (the Bar-On EQ-i). There were statistically significant differences in mean scores of all metafactorial components of EQ-i among the groups (all ANOVA tests p < .001). Posthoc comparisons showed that except for stress management, borderline personality disorder and control groups differed significantly regarding the metafactors (intrapersonal, interpersonal, adaptability, and general mood). For patients with a borderline personality trait, all the components differed significantly from control, except for interpersonal EQ. Also, there was a significant difference in mean total scores among the groups ( p < .001). In addition, based on a discriminant analysis including all 15 factors of EQ, a support vector machine classification showed that EQ-i was able to accurately recognize the three groups (overall accuracy = 92% [CI: 76%-99%], the no information rate = 0.56 [p < .001], and kappa = 0.88). The five metafactorial components of the Bar-On EQ-i are different among patients with borderline personality disorder or traits and healthy people. The fifteen factorial components of Bar-On EQ-i have the potential to differentiate borderline, borderline traits, and healthy people using classification methods.

“…However, in Klein et al's study, the per-protocol approach demonstrated a significant decline in BPD symptoms, therefore hinting that, if patients are better supported in using the program, effectiveness may be more convincing. Psychoeducation in patients with BPD has been proven to be helpful in a regular care setting, which might explain why the former study did not find any significant changes [40]. However, as both studies suggested, accessibility is often limited, and an internet-based intervention could be interesting for patients with limited access to care providers.…”

The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the effectiveness of computer-driven technologies for treatment of patients suffering from BPD. A systematic literature review was conducted using the Pubmed, EMBASE, PsycNET (PsycINFO), CINAHL and Google Scholar electronic databases for the period from their inception dates until 2022. Thirty studies were selected for abstract screening. Seven studies were excluded for not meeting inclusion criteria. The remaining 23 studies were fully assessed, and 12 were excluded. Therefore, 11 studies were included in the analysis of the effectiveness of computer-driven technologies, which encompassed mobile applications, telehealth interventions, internet-based interventions, virtual reality MBT and dialogue-based integrated interventions. Computer-driven interventions are showing signs of effectiveness in the treatment of BPD symptoms. The limited number of articles found on the subject demonstrates a need for further exploration of this subject.

“…The attainment of post‐secondary education in late adolescence and early adulthood is one common adaptive undertaking that serves to prepare individuals for responsibilities of adulthood, establish careers which will provide for material necessities, and facilitate lasting peer and romantic relationships. Although there is a substantial lack of data concerning the impact of BPD on college student functioning (Brickell, 2018), individuals with BPD have been shown to obtain lower education levels overall and greater attrition in post‐secondary education (Meaney et al, 2016). Therefore, identifying borderline features in college‐age students may hold great significance for reducing functional impairment later in life.…”

Although borderline symptoms show a normative decline throughout adulthood, severe psychosocial impairment often remains. Identifying personality pathology in college‐age students may help prevent “adaptive failure” that can occur during the critical period of development from puberty through the late 20s and thus reduce impairment later in life. The aims of the current study were to estimate the prevalence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in a diverse college sample, determine which symptoms confer the greatest relative risk of screening positive for BPD and examine the utility of the Personality Inventory for DSM‐5 brief form (PID‐5‐BF) in identifying BPD. Participants were 1456 undergraduate students, and 312 individuals (21.4% of the sample) screened positive for BPD. Chronic feelings of emptiness conferred the greatest relative risk of any symptom; students who endorsed this symptom were 15 times more likely to screen positive for BPD than those who did not. Scales and composite scores of the PID‐5‐BF demonstrated diagnostic accuracy ranging from sufficient to excellent. The current study contributes to literature concerning best practices in screening for personality pathology in young adults. Results suggest that chronic feelings of emptiness are significant for detecting at‐risk students and implications for the use of the PID‐5‐BF are discussed.
