Models that contain the Model Concept : Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
(From Berdahl (2010): "Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) consists of a cluster of
symptoms characterized by unstable, impulsive behavior. The
DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostics and Statistics Manual IV-Text Revised)
lists nine BPD symptoms. They are fear of abandonment, unstable
interpersonal relationships, identity disturbance, impulsiveness,
self-mutilation and/or suicide, affective instability, empty feelings,
inappropriate anger, and dissociation. An individual must have at
least five of these symptoms to receive a diagnosis of BPD (American
Psychiatric Association, 2000).")
