Reis T, Gekker M, Land MGP, Mendlowicz MV, Berger W, Luz MP, Vilete L, Figueira I, Araújo AXG. The growth and development of research on personality disorders: A bibliometric study. Personal Ment Health 2022; 16:290-299. [PMID: 35182026 DOI: 10.1002/pmh.1540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 01/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
This study objective was to investigate publication trends on personality disorders (PD) and to identify patterns of historical development. Publication rates were determined using the Results by Year Timeline feature of PubMed. Time series autoregressive integrated moving average models were used to analyse the publication rates for PDs in quinquennial periods beginning in 1980 and ending in 2019 and to predict the number of publications in the 2024-2029 period. More than 300 articles on antisocial and borderline PD are being published each year, and the models suggest an accelerating growth rate. Approximately 100 articles are being published on average every year on schizotypal PD, and the regression model indicates linear growth in the near future. The mean number of publications per year for obsessive-compulsive, narcissistic and avoidant PDs is in the range of 10-30 with the corresponding models indicating linear growth. Fewer than 10 articles are being published each year on dependent, paranoid, histrionic and schizoid PD, whereas dependent PD shows modest growth and paranoid PD rates tended to stability, histrionic and schizoid PD exhibit declining rates. Personality disorders are a group of conditions with diverse etiological, prognostic, therapeutic, legal, research, social and cultural implications that influence publication rates.

Commenting and connecting: A thematic analysis of responses to YouTube vlogs about borderline personality disorder. Internet Interv 2022; 28:100540. [PMID: 35493438 PMCID: PMC9048063 DOI: 10.1016/j.invent.2022.100540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is an often misunderstood and stigmatized mental health difficulty. Increasingly, social media has been used as a forum to share dialogue on such difficulties. This research analysed YouTube comments in response to personal vlogs about living with BPD. The key term 'Living with Borderline Personality Disorder Vlog' was inputted into a YouTube Ireland search, results were displayed by relevance and the top four vlogs that met the criteria were chosen for analysis. A total of 1197 comments (approximately 55,574 words) were analysed using inductive thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006). Five distinct themes were identified: 1) Sharing advice, support and encouragement, 2) Vlogs destigmatizing, informing and educating, 3) Solidarity, relatability and personal connection, 4) Intense, unstable intrapersonal and interpersonal functioning, 5) Prompting disclosures about mental health struggles. The vlogs gave people insight and understanding, increasing empathy towards those suffering with BPD or with their mental health. The overall picture drawn from the data was one of solidarity, support, de-stigmatization, normalization, sharing, comfort and encouragement. Further research into people's attitudes towards BPD, their opinions and knowledge of the disorder, may help make important changes, inform policies and practice, and ultimately improve the lives of those living with the disorder.

Front Psychol 2021; 12:533526. [PMID: 34489768 PMCID: PMC8417833 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.533526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Although the translation and the validation of the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD) are performed in various languages and samples, no study has established the validity and reliability of the Urdu version of MSI-BPD in individuals with cardiac problems. Materials and Methods: The Urdu version of the MSI-BPD was prepared through the standard back-translation method. The translation and adaption were completed in four steps: forward translation, adaption and translation, back translation and committee approach, and cross-language validation. The sample, selected through the purposive sampling method, comprised of 150 adults with cardiac problems (men = 75 and women = 75), with an age range of 23-78 years (M = 55, SD = 10.6). The Cronbach alpha reliability and factorial validity of the MSI-BPD were assessed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Pearson correlation analyses. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability (at 2 weeks' interval) were used to evaluate the reliability. Statistical analyses were performed, using SPSS (version 22) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) software. Results: Preliminary analysis revealed that the overall instrument had good internal consistency (Urdu MSI-BPD α = 0.79; English MSI-BPD α = 0.77) as well as test-retest correlation coefficients for 15 days (r = 0.94). Conclusions: Findings suggested that the MSI-BPD, with important limitations, can be used as an effective preliminary screening tool to measure BPD in Urdu-speaking adults with cardiac problems. Further validations should be conducted to make the translated version of the MSI-BPD an appropriate tool to screen BPD in hospitals and mental health care settings.

Developments in diagnosis and treatment of people with borderline personality disorder. Curr Opin Psychiatry 2020; 33:441-446. [PMID: 32639358 DOI: 10.1097/yco.0000000000000625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Borderline personality disorder (BPD) attracts significant attention from clinicians and researchers alike. Despite increased recognition and willingness to diagnose BPD, most effective treatment approaches remain inaccessible to most. We consider recent developments in the diagnosis and treatment of BPD. RECENT FINDINGS A literature search of EMBASE and PsychINFO, using the search terms 'borderline personality disorder,' 'diagnosis' and 'treatment' for publications since October 2018, yielded over 300 articles and reviews. The literature highlights the increasing awareness of the diagnostic complexity of BPD as well as the emerging significance of 'common factors' and stepped care approaches for managing and treating the disorder. SUMMARY Clinical practice is evolving to embrace more holistic diagnostic approaches, generalist treatment frameworks and stepped-care models that can be tailored to fit individual needs and service resources. The new frontiers in this field include expansion of timely treatment options, improved knowledge regarding the expression and management of BPD in men, adolescents and the elderly, and bridging cultural divides to create a worldwide population approach.
