边缘型人格障碍is a complex mental illness that affects both men and women. Along with strong emotions and feelings, people with BPD can also experience intense anger, known asborderline rage. 如果你的家人或爱人患有BPD,了解暴力与BPD的关系以及如何处理暴力是很重要的。

BPD患者的暴力行为

有研究表明,与普通人群相比,有暴力行为的男性和女性患边缘性人格障碍的几率都有所上升。然而,这并不一定意味着诊断与暴力风险增加有关。

Impulsive behavior,包括身体攻击,是diagnostic criteria for BPD, even though someone can meet criteria for the disorder without demonstrating this symptom.

在英国进行的一项大型2016项研究发现,BPD本身并没有暗示暴力倾向,但确实表明,患有BPD的人更容易患上“共病”,如焦虑、反社会人格障碍和滥用药物,从而增加暴力的风险。

同年,一项系统的研究证实了同样的发现,但缺乏证据表明BPD本身会增加暴力行为。

强烈的情绪和BPD

有几个原因可以解释为什么患有BPD的人在人际关系中更有可能使用暴力。首先,患有BPD的人本身往往是暴力的受害者,比如通过暴力child abuse。虽然这不是真的对所有人来说,很多人with BPD may have learned to use aggression to deal with strong emotions because adults modeled that behavior for them when they were young.

此外,患有BPD的人经常会经历自我感觉不稳定和人际关系中难以信任他人的情况。如果他们相信自己被拒绝或抛弃,他们可能会经历非常强烈的情绪;这就是所谓的拒绝敏感性或抛弃敏感性。这些强烈的拒绝感有时会导致攻击性行为。

Finally, people with BPD often have difficulties with impulsive behaviors. When they are experiencing strong emotions that are typical of the disorder, they may do things without thinking about the consequences. If they engage in violence, it is usually not planned. It is an冲动行为在最热的时候做的。

有变紫的危险

The information above only provides general information about the link between borderline personality disorder and violence; it is not possible to predict whether one particular individual with BPD will be violent. If your loved one has not shown any violent tendencies or aggression, it is quite possible that they won't be violent. Many individuals with BPD never commit any aggressive acts during their lives.

如果你感到受到威胁,即使没有发生暴力事件your relationship,你应该认真对待。如果你已经感到不安全,情况有可能升级到暴力的程度。

你应该考虑把自己带到一个安全的地方远离你所爱的人,不管这意味着找一家酒店或者和朋友住在一起。在试图帮助你的朋友或家人获得帮助之前,确保你的安全是很重要的。

一旦你有了安全感,你最好的办法就是你们两个都去寻找professional helpthrough therapy with a therapist specializing in BPD. This may help you figure out whether the relationship can be improved and may prevent violence from happening in the future.

Therapy can also help you decide whether this is a relationship worth saving. The therapist can also recommend a course of treatment to help your loved one get on the path to recovery.

Having a diagnosis of BPD not only may increase the risk of violence against others but against self. Self-harm is a common issue for many individuals living with BPD.
