Despite prior assumptions about poor prognosis, the surge in research on borderline personality disorder (BPD) over the past several decades shows that it is treatable and can have a good prognosis. Prominent theories of BPD highlight the importance of emotional dysfunction as core to this disorder. However, recent empirical research suggests a more nuanced view of emotional dysfunction in BPD. This research is reviewed in the present article, with a view towards how these laboratory-based findings can influence clinical work with individuals suffering from BPD.
尽管之前认为边缘型人格障碍(BPD)预后不佳,但过去几十年对该障碍的研究热潮表明它是可治疗的,且预后良好。BPD的主流理论强调情绪功能障碍是该障碍的核心。然而,最近的实证研究对BPD中的情绪功能障碍提出了更为细致入微的观点。本文对这项研究进行了综述,旨在探讨这些基于实验室的研究结果如何影响对BPD患者的临床治疗工作。
