The relationship of self-rated to observer-rated scales has been infrequently studied in patients with DSM-III defined borderline personality disorder. This study was designed to derminine a) the amount of correlation between these two types of rating scales in borderline patients and b) whether borderline patients scored significantly higher than dysthymic controls on self or observer-rated scales. Results indicated that self-rated scale scores were higher within the borderline group. Self and observer-rated scales were highly correlated within the borderline group. Borderline patients did not differ from controls when scores of self and observer-rated scales were compared between groups. The relationship of these results to previous findings was equivocal.

The negative effects of borderline personality disorder (BPD) are widely documented. And while religiosity has been found to be generally beneficial for individuals with clinical disorders, little is known about the relationship of religiosity and personality disorders, including BPD.  The purpose of this quantitative, cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between BPD and two important components of religiosity. The first was termed religious quest and was defined in the study as the level of one’s internal openness to faith and spirituality. The other was defined as religious engagement and was defined in the study as the external, behavioral marks of religious faith such as prayer and attendance at religious events. A survey comprised of several validated measures was administered to undergraduate students within a large public university in the Midwest (N = 466).

As many research studies show, a large portion of clinicians in the mental field hold pejorative attitudes toward those with borderline personality disorder. Oftentimes, these attitudes become manifest through the use of stigmatizing language to describe client behavior, such as “manipulative” and “attention seeking.” In this article, combining personal experience with research, I explore how stigmatizing language and attitudes affect the relationship between client and clinician and how such language impacts recovery. I offer for consideration solutions that might be more conducive to recovery and lead to a better working relationship between client and clinician.
