Suicidality and Personality Pathology in Adolescence: A Systematic Review

Marta Moselli et al.

Summary: This paper presents a review of research papers on the role of emerging personality pathology in suicidal ideation and behaviors in adolescence. The study found that borderline personality disorder (BPD) plays a significant role in suicidal behaviors, and the associated personality traits of BPD have predictive links with suicidal conduct. Other personality pathology dimensions associated with antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders also have a significant mediating role in suicidal risk. Overall, assessing emerging patterns of personality disorders is important for the clinical management of suicidal risk in adolescence.

Adolescence as a peak period of borderline personality features? A meta-analytic approach

Anouk Aleva et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the existence of a peak in mean-level of borderline personality features during middle to late adolescence. The results did not support a peak between ages 17 and 22, but provided evidence for a peak at 29.4 years. Different trends were observed in different samples, highlighting the need for caution in interpreting the findings. Future longitudinal studies are needed to determine if within-person changes in borderline personality features correspond to between-person age differences.

The Psychoanalytic Study of Suicide, Part I: An Integration of Contemporary Theory and Research

Mark Schechter et al.

Summary: Psychodynamic psychotherapy plays a crucial role in suicide prevention and has provided valuable insights into the human experience and the process of suicidality through psychoanalytic research. Understanding the unbearable emotional or psychic pain experienced by patients and their urgent need for relief is central to the psychoanalytic approach. Factors such as early attunement problems, dissociation, deficits in bodily love and protection, unconscious fantasy, certain character traits, and dynamics contribute to the vulnerability to suicidal states. Empirical research has validated many essential psychoanalytic concepts about suicide, including the escape from unbearable pain as the main driver of suicidal behavior, the role of dissociation in increasing the risk of self-harm, and the significance of unconscious processes. Further research into implicit processes holds potential to enhance suicide risk assessment and optimize psychotherapy outcomes.

The influence of personality disorder in predicting suicidal behaviour in common mental disorders: A 30-year study

Peter Tyrer et al.

The Study of Motivation in the Suicidal Process: The Motivational Interview for Suicidality

Marta Moselli et al.

Summary: Suicide is the result of a process starting with unbearable pain or hopelessness, and recent studies highlight the importance of integrating psychopathological diagnoses as predictors of suicidal behavior. Qualitative assessment of motivations underlying suicidal gestures can guide clinicians in preventing adolescent suicides effectively. The Motivational Interview for Suicidality in Adolescence (MIS-A) is a clinician-report interview aimed at identifying motivational areas behind suicidal ideation and gestures.

Borderline personality disorder and adolescent suicide attempt: the mediating role of emotional dysregulation

Bojan Mirkovic et al.

Summary: The study found that both lifetime depressive disorders and insecure attachment styles directly impact lifetime suicide attempts in borderline adolescents, with lifetime depressive disorders also having an indirect effect through emotional dysregulation. This suggests that emotional dysregulation plays a mediating role in suicide attempts among BPD adolescents, highlighting the importance of addressing emotion dysregulation in preventing suicidality in this population.

The Road from Pathological Narcissism to Suicidality in Adolescence: An Empirical Study

Riccardo Williams et al.

Future directions in personality pathology

Peter Fonagy et al.

Summary: This article suggests two areas of future development in the realm of personality pathology. The first is a reconceptualization of personality pathology in light of research evidence suggesting a single model for psychopathology. The second is the proposal of a cultural-developmental model for personality pathology based on natural pedagogy and the social-communicative nature of psychopathology.

Five failures and five challenges for prevention and early intervention for personality disorder

Andrew M. Chanen et al.

Summary: Although there is global consensus on the importance of early detection of personality disorder, current approaches to early intervention have not effectively helped the majority of young people, leading to enduring effects on their functioning, mental and physical health. Addressing challenges such as identification, access to treatment, research translation, innovation, and functional recovery requires shifting early intervention from niche programs for a select few young people to being established in mainstream primary care and specialist youth mental health services.
