From the Paper:
"The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Text Revision [DSM-IV-TR] (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000) defines borderline personality disorder (BPD), an Axis II personality disorder, as "a pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, affects, and marked impulsivity" (p. 686). To meet the DSM-IV-TR's diagnostic criteria for BPD one must present by early adulthood, with five of the eight behaviors associated with borderline, which may include, but are not limited to: a pattern of unstable relationships, irrational fear of abandonment, suicidality, self-mutilation, identity disturbance, self-damaging impulsivity, poor self-concept, and a constant feeling of emptiness."Sample of Sources Used:
