How to Assess Recovery in Borderline Personality Disorder: Psychosocial Functioning and Satisfaction With Life in a Sample of Former DBT Study Patients | Journal of Personality Disorders
Longitudinal studies provide substantial evidence for a high rate of symptomatic remission in borderline personality disorder (BPD), while social and vocational functioning seems to remain consistently impaired. Less data is available on recovery and the associated objective and personal indicators. We examined 58 patients 12–18 years after their diagnosis of BPD and compared two different recovery criteria: observer-based global assessment of functioning and self-rated satisfaction with life (SWL). Symptomatic remission was observed in 81% of the participants (according to DSM-IV), but only 44% of them achieved a GAF level 60, and only 49% reported SWL within the range of one standard deviation of the normal population. In line with previous research, our data show that DSM symptom remission alone is an insufficient indicator for recovery from BPD. Replacing the GAF with patient-reported satisfaction with life considers empowerment in BPD and offers an efficient alternative criterion for recovery.
BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN REMISSION AND RECOVERY IN BPD: QUALITATIVE VERSUS QUANTITATIVE PERSPECTIVES
The 10-year outcome for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) is diagnostic remission in 85% to 93%; however, less than half achieve good social and vocational functioning, and few attain full psychosocial recovery. To assess the gap between ...
The Karpman drama triangle is a social model of human interaction proposed by San Francisco psychiatrist Stephen B. Karpman in 1968. The triangle maps a type of destructive interaction that can occur among people in conflict. The drama triangle model is a tool used in psychotherapy, specifically transactional analysis. The triangle of actors in the drama are persecutors, victims, and rescuers.

In this video, during a Nancy McWilliams Interview, she discusses the Oedipal complex and its developmental significance in children aged 3 to 6, taking on the challenge of making the Oedipal Complex Simple. She explains that at this age, children begin to recognize relationships beyond themselves, particularly between their parents. McWilliams recounts an anecdote where her daughters and niece discuss marriage to their father, highlighting children's early understanding of family dynamics. She emphasizes Freud's interest in children's sexual fantasies regarding their parents but also acknowledges other psychologists' focus on the broader development of mentalization, the capacity to understand others' minds. McWilliams stresses that this phase marks a crucial shift from egocentrism to recognizing others as subjective beings. Failure to develop this capacity can lead to difficulties in empathy and seeing others as more than objects. She distinguishes between pre-Oedipal and Oedipal patients, noting that the latter have internalized the ability to hold conflicting feelings towards others, essential for healthy relationships. The discussion underscores the importance of this developmental phase in shaping individuals' ability to empathize and navigate social interactions effectively.
