Abstract

The purpose of the proposed study is to examine the reasons for self-harm in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Using a survey version of the Parasuicide History Interview (Linehan, 2001), the current study is designed to further examine reasons for self-harm in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder. Twenty-one patients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder will complete a series of surveys regarding parasuicidal behaviors.
