Abstract

Although no prospective epidemiological studies have evaluated the relationship between family interactions and the development of borderline personality disorder (BPD), there is considerable evidence for the central role of family interactions in the development of BPD. This paper describes the role of family interactions or processes, especially those that might be regarded as invalidating or conflictual, negative or critical, and the absence of more validating, positive, supportive, empathic interactions, in the development of BPD. Perhaps more importantly, the proposed model considers how these parental and family behaviors transact with the child's own behaviors and emotional vulnerabilities, resulting in a developmental model of BPD that is neither blaming of the family member with BPD nor of her or his parents and caregivers, and has important and specific implications for both prevention and intervention.

  • The transactional model emphasizes the interaction between high emotional reactivity and negative interpretations of the person, which provoke inadequate emotional responses, and problematic invalidation by the environment.

    “En esta línea, el modelo transaccional (Fruzzetti et al., 2005) enfatiza la interacción entre, por una parte, la alta reactividad emocional y las interpretaciones negativas de la persona, que suelen provocar respuestas emocionales inadecuadas de la persona hacia el entorno y, por otro lado, la invalidación problemática que hace el entorno de las emociones de la persona con TPL.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
