Neurocognition in Borderline Personality Disorder: Familial Risk,
Treatment Implications, and Future Directions
Anthony C. Ruocco, Ph.D., C.Psych
Department of Psychology, University of Toronto Scarborough
Department of Psychological Clinical Science, University of Toronto
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a psychiatric disorder
characterized by dysfunctions in behavioral control, emotion regulation,
and interpersonal functioning. In this talk, Professor Ruocco reviews
research on cognition in BPD and its implications for the behavioural
disturbances that define the disorder, including impulse control
difficulties and self-harming behaviours. Next, cognitive neuroscience
research on BPD is presented, focusing in particular on studies of
cognitive control and episodic memory. Research findings are discussed
in the context of Professor Ruocco’s ongoing research on the familial
risk for BPD and psychological and brain stimulation interventions. The
presentation concludes with a discussion of a proposed reformulation of
the personality disorder diagnosis in the International Classification
of Diseases—11th Revision and the applications of cognitive research to
related dimensional and hierarchical conceptualizations of personality
psychopathology.
