F*ck your care if you label me! Borderline personality disorder, stigma, and self-stigma
Original language description
INTRODUCTION: According to recent results, a significant number of psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and general public show negative and stigmatizing attitudes towards patients with toward borderline personality disorder (BPD). Such attitudes may manifest in negative thoughts and harmful or discriminating behavior towards people with this disorder. METHOD: Studies were identified through the Web of Science, Medline, and Scopus databases, including resources within the period 1990-2014. Additional references were found using reviews of relevant articles. The search terms included "borderline", "stigma", "self-stigma", "therapy", "treatment", "psychotherapy", and "psychosocial treatment". RESULTS: The stigmatizing beliefs of the professionals and the general public are common in the case of the patients with BPD. Health care professionals tend to be more prone to stigmatize the individuals with BPD than lay population. People with BPD come across serious difficulties, such as unstable emotionality, impulsivity, low threshold of frustration, and following issues in social and occupational functioning. These problems are inevitably present the patients' contact with the health care professionals. Insufficient supervision of the therapeutic process and lack of sufficient competence in the work with the patients with BPD can lead to the clinicians' stigmatizing attitudes and behavior. In these cases, the health care professionals often use derogatory expressions to describe persons with BPD, such as "treatment resistant", "complicated", "demanding", "dangerous", "manipulative", and "attention seeking". Negative attitudes among psychiatrists, other physicians, nurses, psychotherapists, and health care administrators support the marginalization of BPD within the systems of mental health care. CONCLUSION: Substantial development in the empirical and practical knowledge of the patients suffering from BPD challenges the stereotypical labels of the individuals with this disorder. Continual supervision may offer a solution in the case to case scenario of the stigmatizing professionals. The fundamental questioning of the marginalized status of patients with BPD is also required.
