Text of the abstract

Introduction:
Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) have serious difficulties in recognising their basic social needs and to make others respect these needs. Parental reactions to the emotional needs of their children shape how these children – later in life, as adults – see themselves in social relationships.
The behaviors of BPD's parents towards their children' basic needs have not yet been studied.
As BPD is an inhomogenic patient group, we wanted to explore if there were differences in their parents' parental behaviors in function of BPD's comorbid personality disoders.

Aim: We wanted to compare the early experiences of people about their parents' parental behaviors between three groups: BPD with comorbid depressive personality disorder (BPD_DEP), BPD without comorbid depressive personality disorder (BPD_NEMDEP) and healthy controls (KONTROL).

Method: The answers of 44 persons in the BPD_DEP group, 44 in the BPD_NEMDEP group and 164 persons in the KONTROL group were analysed. All participants were between 18-55 years old. The patient groups consisted of inpatients of the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy in Semmelweis University. We used the SCID II semi-structured interview to diagnose personality disorders. All participants filled out the Young Parenting Inventory. For data analysis we used GLM ANCOVA. The three groups were treated as independent variables, while the 17-17 subscales of the Young Parenting Inventory were treated as dependent variables.

Results: KONTROL group had significantly lower points on almost every subscale (indicating that they experienced healthier parental behaviors) compared to the two patient groups. BPD_NEMDEP tended to have significantly lower points compared to BPD_DEP.

Conclusion: Besides their traumatic childhood experiences (explored in other studies), BPD experienced more unhealthy parental behaviors (compared to KONTROL) regarding their basic needs. BPD_DEP experienced a harsher family environment than BPD_NEMDEP.
