Impulsivity issues in borderline personality disorder and it's links with insight: the role of urgency

Abstract

Impulsivity plays a major role in a wide range of disorders including Borderline Personality Disorder. Another crucial clinical dimension is insight. This clinical dimension is linked with symptomatology and treatment issue. The present study aims to investigate the impact of positive and negative urgency on insight in Borderline Personality Disorder. Methods: We recruited eighty-one women with Borderline Personality Disorder and assessed insight level and impulsivity scores using the Beck Cognitive insight scale and the UPPS-short form scale. Results: Our results showed interesting links between positive urgency and insight quality. Conclusion: Negative emotions play a fundamental role for the insight quality, but positive emotions are surprisingly related to clinical insight. We discuss the possible therapeutical impact of this results on treatment adaptation.

“…Based on these facts, we had created an adapted protocol for impulsivity and suicidal risk reduction for BPD, and we will be specifically looking at urgency dimensions, notably Negative Urgency, as they tend to play a role in BPD symptomatology (Howard & Khalifa, 2016 ; Martin et al, 2019 ; Peters et al, 2017 ; Taherifard et al, 2015 ).…”
