Borderline Personality Disorder

A past focus of the lab was Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) (e.g., Klonsky, 2008, Journal of Personality Disorders; and Glenn & Klonsky, 2009, Journal of Personality Disorders), including relationships among key aspects of BPD such as emotional instability, impulsivity, and suicide/self-harm. We view emotional instability as the central feature of BPD that leads to the other BPD symptoms such as impulsive behaviours, suicidality, and relationship problems.

At present, we do not have active research examining BPD.
