Today, Trevor is joined by Alan E. Fruzzetti, PhD, director of McLean’s 3East Boys Intensive Program, to discuss gender as it relates to borderline personality disorder (BPD). Alan talks about the differences in how BPD presents itself in men vs. women. He also notes that there is work to do in th...Would like to know the ages of the boys in this program. If they are all expressing their trauma by 'acting in' and self harming, i.e. not aggressive as mentioned, with no one 'acting out' by expressing their trauma as rage and addiction, does this mean untreated bpd leads to the 20% in prisons? Would like this disparity elaborated on - trauma expressed as emotional dysregulation, rage, and unbearable frustration - at what point do behaviours of bpd turn outwardly aggressive, given rage is an often overlooked symptom?
very interested in doing additional research on gender in BPD, as I am non-binary with BPD and in addition to more research needed on male-identified folks, am interested in collaborating on new research on gender spectrum and BPD.
