Filter by:Education day on borderline personality disorder (BPD), including a transmission of current scientific knowledge on the disease. A dimensional understanding of BPD is delivered as well as disidentification of oneself to the symptoms of borderline personality disorder (Ducasse 2020 Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci). The main objective is to evaluate the impact of borderline education day on self-stigma.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between age-related anorexia and personality traits in elderly individuals with comorbidities.
A pharmacoimaging study of oxytcoin in antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy
This study aims to determine the feasibility and preliminary data on the interaction between oxytocin and cortisol during stress in borderline personnality disorder.
Participants with Borderline pathology (≥ 3 DSM-IV-criteria) receiving an inpatient Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program completed a quality assurance questionnaire set assessing demographic information and pretreatment psychopathology during the days of their inpatient stay. Beyond that, changes of therapists were documented.
Primary objective of this study is the exploration of the impact of personality type, social roles and working mandates οn the visual capacity and satisfaction of patients that underwent pseudophakic presbyopic correction.
The study plan outlined here represents an investigation of instruments on the patients treated in the acute ward of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf (UKE). The psychosocial burden of the affected children and adolescents is evident due to the severity of the disorders leading to specific admission. The psychosocial burden can be defined as "psychological, social, or school-occupational functional impairment [...] that has arisen as a consequence of a mental disorder, a specific developmental disorder, or an intellectual impairment". The current research project aims to survey the severity of psychosocial distress, personality functioning impairment, and social withdrawal. A better knowledge of these factors may contribute to a more suitable, specialized treatment offer on the acute ward in the medium term.
TRAIT-BOR is an open-label psychotherapy treatment study for adults who meet the diagnostic criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and are seeking enrollment in a clinical trial of a novel compound to treat BPD. The current study seeks to determine if there are therapeutic benefits to more infrequent, short term, or longer term supportive psychotherapy.
Cluster B personality disorders (borderline, narcissistic, antisocial and/or histrionic) are an important clinical consideration because of their high prevalence and associated morbidity. Although many studies examine borderline personality disorder, few of them explore cluster B personality disorders as a whole. In clinical practice, personality disorders are frequently comorbid. Patients who receive services in specialized clinics for these disorders often have a complex diagnosis that include many cluster B personality disorders. Therefore, our study globally examines patients with cluster B personality disorders even though borderline personality disorder is empirically the most studied psychopathology. Previous data suggests that borderline personality disorder has a prevalence of 2% in the general population, of 25% in the clinical psychiatric population and of 15% in all visits to the emergency room. Furthermore, it is associated with social costs estimated from 15,000$ to 50,000$ USD per patient per year. In Quebec, this psychopathology is associated with an increased mortality rate compared to the general population, totaling a loss of nine years for women and 13 years for men of life expectancy. Other studies suggest that borderline personality disorder is often comorbid with other personality disorders, including those in cluster B. The population with comorbid personality disorders have a worse prognosis and a lower chance of reaching symptomatic remission, which is the reason why it is crucial to better understand and study patients with cluster B personality disorders. The study compares the effectiveness of two psychotherapies for borderline personality disorder, mentalization-based therapy and a modified version of Linehan's dialectical behavior therapy, in a retrospective naturalistic study of patients with at least one cluster B personality disorder who have undergone either treatment. The scarcity of data on cluster B personality disorders and on the comparison between MBT and DBT further highlights the necessity of a naturalistic study like ours to examine both aspects and bring research closer to the clinical setting. Based on clinical observations, the investigators believe that there will be no statistically significant difference between either treatment.
The research goal is to find a correlation between patient personality characteristics, patients' mood and glycemic control. Eventually, using this information may allow treating physicians the ability to better balance glucose blood levels in patients with T1DM, by recognizing influencing psychological parameters. The conclusion from this research will add to other physiological parameters that are being studied today, and in the future will be integrated into an artificial pancreas. The investigators believe that there is a correlation that hasn't been studied in the past between personality characteristics, daily emotions and the ability to balance glucose blood levels in patients with T1DM.
