Arch Gen Psychiatry 1986 Jan;43(1):20-30
"The Chestnut Lodge follow up study. III. Long-term outcome of borderline personalities"
Outcome varied over time, BPD patients did best in the second decade after discharge.
Am J Psychiatry 1986 Feb;143(2):212-5
"Schizotypal symptoms in patients with borderline personality disorders"
Schizotypal disorder symptoms were very common in those with the BPD.
J Clin Psychiatry 1986 Apr;47(4):196-8
"The demographic profile of the borderline personality disorder"
A survey of 23 patients showed that most were young, white and female. The source of information was considered suspect by the authors, who recommended that their findings be confirmed by other studies.
Suicide Life Threat Behav 1986 Spring;16(1):28-39
"Selected behavioral features of patients with borderline personality traits"
Irregular hospital discharges, frequent suicide attempts, first suicide attempt before age 40, violence inside and outside the hospital, and gradual deterioration in social and occupational functioning were found more often in patients with "high levels of borderline personality traits."
J Nerv Men Dis 1986 Jun;174(6):328-31
"An empirical study of borderline personality disorder and psychiatric suicides"
In this study of 134 consecutive psychiatric suicides from 1961-1980 only 12% had the BPD.
Psychopathology 1986;19(1-2):68-79
"Prognosis of the borderline disorders"
Wide variability, but in general better than in individuals with schizophrenia.
Acta Psychiatr Scand 1986 Mar;73(3):307-14
"Characterizing somatization, hypochondriasis, and hysteria and the borderline personality disorder"
These symptoms are more common in individuals with dysthymia (low level depression) than in the BPD.
J Stud Alcohol 1986 May;47(3):196-200
"Borderline personality disorder and alcoholism treatment: a one year follow-up study"
This study documents that short term treatment of alcoholics with "severe character pathology" can help them. (I strongly disagree - the BPD is not a character disorder, it's a medical one.)
Am J Psychiatry 1986 Aug;143(8):998-1003
"An examination of the borderline diagnosis in children"
A study of 86 children aged 6-12 psychiatrically hospitalized showed some features of these symptoms when they went on to develop the BPD as an adult. Further research needed to draw any conclusions.
Psychopathology 1986;19(3):131-7
"Challenges of research with the borderline patient"
"Clinical research of the borderline personality disorder can be difficult and challenging for investigator" due to the "core psychopathology and characteristic defense mechanisms," difficulty of completing studies, and 'classical' and 'total' counter transference.
Am J Psychiatry 1986 Oct;143(10):1287-9
"Pseudologia fantastica in the borderline patient"
"An infrequently described clinical feature sometimes associated with borderline personality disorder is pseudologia fantastica" (pathological lying).
Am J Psychiatry 1986 Dec;143(12):1605-7
"Psychotic symptoms of borderline personality disorder"
A study of 13 BPD patients showed "derealization" and "depersonalization" were common symptoms, but drug free hallucinations were also observed.
Can J Psychiatry 1986 Dec;31(9):859-60
"Borderline personality disorder in the elderly: a case study"
"The case suggests that features of BPD persist throughout life and may worsen with the stresses associated with aging."
