| Abstract |
Dissociation is a common symptom in Borderline Personality disorder (BPD) and its consideration is important for the therapeutic outcome. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to scrutinize the co-occurrence of BPD symptoms and dissociative experiences. In particular, we were interested in the occurrence of specific symptom clusters characterizing qualitatively different patient groups in a clinical sample of BPD patients. We analyzed the data of 103 patients in a specialized acute inpatient care crisis intervention unit. Measures were the Borderline Symptom List (BSL-95), a German adaption of the Dissociative Experience Scale (FDS), and the Symptom Checklist SCL-90-R. We applied a Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) using the subscales of BSL-95 and FDS to investigate the existence of distinct latent classes of symptom profiles. Afterwards, we related the obtained profiles to other clinical and demographic characteristics. Dissociative experiences of moderate to severe intensity were common among patients with BPD. LPA revealed that a model of three classes fitted the data best: one class was characterized by co-occurrence of severe borderline symptoms and frequent dissociative experiences, one class showed low symptom burden in both measures, and one class showed considerable borderline symptoms but only moderate dissociative experiences. The classes were closely related to the severity of other self-rated psychological problems and showed significantly different occurrences of stress-related comorbid disorders. The results underline that dissociation is an important factor in many (but not all) BPD patients. This should be addressed by increased attention to dissociative symptoms in the diagnostic process and the adjustment of treatment plans. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 August 2017.
All research outputs
#19,951,180
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Comprehensive Psychiatry
#1,423
of 1,888 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#236,295
of 324,967 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Comprehensive Psychiatry
#24
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,888 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,967 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
