Emotional dysregulation in patients with borderline personality disorder

Emotional dysregulation is one of the fundamental psychopathological characteristics of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), which significantly contributes to affective instability, impulsivity, and interpersonal issues. This thesis presents a comprehensive review of emotional dysregulation in patients with BPD, integrating various theoretical models with empirical research. Through the integration of these theoretical frameworks and research data, the thesis seeks to offer a thorough understanding of emotional dysregulation in the context of BPD and indicate implications for clinical practice. Specific emphasis is placed on the need for flexible, individualized interventions that target the distinctive regulatory challenges faced by this group.
