“…Lastly, we only included a nonclinical control group and cannot assess the specificity of the findings. Research on individuals with borderline personality disorder suggest that other psychiatric groups may show a similar pattern (Adler et al, 2012;Lind et al, 2018).…”

We examined themes of agency and communion in life stories of individuals with schizophrenia. Twenty-four individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and 24 control participants matched on age, gender, and education described their life stories in a free format. The life stories were coded for the presence of agency and communion themes and whether or not the themes captured fulfillment of agency and communion needs. In addition, the temporal macrostructure was coded. Individuals with schizophrenia described their life stories with similar levels of temporal macrostructure as controls, but they expressed more themes focusing on unfulfilled agency and communion needs. We suggest possible avenues for using these insights to improve recovery in schizophrenia.

“…Holm and Thomsen (2018) found that individuals who gave higher ratings of positive self-event connections and lower ratings of negative self-event connections, experienced fewer symptoms of psychopathology. Additionally, compared with healthy control participants, individuals with psychiatric illness rate their life stories lower on positive self-event connection (Lind, Jørgensen, Bøye, Heinskou, Simonsen, & Thomsen, 2018;Pedersen, Straarup, & Thomsen, 2018).…”

We examined whether age differences in life stories and personality traits mediated age differences in subjective well-being. One-hundred-and-one young, 77 middle-aged, and 81 older participants completed measures of subjective well-being and personality traits. They described chapters and specific memories in their life stories and rated these on emotional tone and positive and negative self-event connections. Older participants scored higher on subjective well-being, rated their life stories as more positive, and scored lower on neuroticism compared with both young and middle-aged participants. Age differences in subjective well-being were mediated by life stories and neuroticism, with neuroticism being the strongest mediator. We suggest that changes in personality may enable older individuals to interpret events and themselves in a positive light, which help enhance their subjective well-being.

Learning objectives After participating in this activity, learners should be better able to: • Assess differences between adult patients with the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and healthy control subjects in terms of empathy and related processes • Evaluate the effects of empathy or related processes as factors contributing to abnormal social functioning in BPD Abstract We reviewed 45 original research studies, published between 2000 and 2019, to assess differences between adult patients with the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and healthy control subjects in terms of empathy and related processes (i.e., theory of mind, mentalizing, social cognition, and emotional intelligence). Thirty-six studies reported deficits of empathy or related processes in patients with BPD. Enhanced emotional empathy in BPD was also reported in eight studies, all of which revealed that patients had increased scores of personal distress on the Interpersonal Reactivity Index self-report questionnaire. Six studies did not find significant differences between patients with BPD and healthy control subjects in terms of empathy or related processes. No study reported enhanced cognitive empathy, social cognition, or emotional intelligence in patients with BPD. We postulate that deficits of empathy or related processes contribute to preempting the formation of stable interpersonal relationships, whereas enhanced emotional empathy might lead to personal (and interpersonal) distress, further contributing to abnormal social functioning in BPD.
