“…Instead, when returning home from school, the child sometimes engages in binge eating or even cuts themselves if feeling especially bad. These types of responses may be positively and/or negatively automatically reinforced without mediation from others (Bottini et al, 2022;McKerchar et al, 2001). For example, through binge eating, the child gets in contact with the appetitive taste of the food, and their anxiety is reduced through the activation of their parasympathetic system.…”

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can be considered the most effective treatment when attending to problem behaviors that define borderline personality disorder (BPD). This therapy employs chain analysis as the tool for accounting for contextual variables that maintain these behaviors. However, these detected variables are descriptive and temporal rather than strictly functional. That is, the role of contextual variables is analyzed regarding temporal relations with the problem behavior, but not in terms of contingency relations that allow showing their function. Thus, a functional approach to hypothesize these contingency relations between responses and the variables that control them was carried out. Behavior functional analysis was employed as a tool and functional hypotheses of the DSM-5-TR criteria for BPD were conducted. The conclusion is that the proposed approach can be used as a guide to elaborate functional hypotheses about cases displaying the behaviors defined in the diagnosis.

Thus, a functional approach to hypothesize these contingency relations between responses and the variables that control them was carried out. Behavior functional analysis was employed as a tool and functional hypotheses of the DSM‐5‐TR criteria for BPD were conducted. The conclusion is that the proposed approach can be combined with DBT chain analysis to elaborate more accurate functional hypotheses about cases displaying the behaviors defined in the diagnosis.
