Összefoglaló szövege

Suicide and self-injury are the most threatening symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD). This study examined the experiences of suicidal and non-suicidal self-injurious behaviours among adults with BPD. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to develop themes from the narratives of six adults with a BPD. The framework for interpretation was the Structured Existential Analysis (SEA) framework. Based on this, the following themes emerged in relation to the 1) physical dimension: a) nature: alienation from the environment, the unreal, the environment is alive, the individual is dead b) things: tools used for self-harm are dual in nature - both self and alienated c) own body: alienation from own body, transformation of mental pain into physical pain d) cosmos: indifference, emptiness, chaos 2) social dimension a) society: indifference, exclusion, sense of being othered b) others: dominance over own actions in reaction to submission by others c) ego: rejection d) culture: isolation. 3) personal dimension: a) person: lack of identity b) me: weakness, sickness c) self: disintegration d) consciousness: confusion 4) spiritual world: a) infinite: the tranquility of non-existence in death which is attractive b) ideas: suicide is a solution c) spirit: nothing on the "other side" d) conscience: the moral judgement of suicide is relative. In this study's existential phenomenological exploration, a set of motivations is revealed that help us to understand the life-world experiences of suicide and self-injurious behaviour of individuals with BPD.
