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.
