Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The treatment of patients with severe personality disorders, particularly those who meet criteria for the category of borderline personality (BPD), is well known to be difficult and marked by multiple crises. This chapter will focus on the most common scenario, which occurs when patients threaten to kill themselves or make a suicide attempt. Suicidal crises and suicide prevention Patients with severe personality disorders make multiple suicide attempts, gestures, and threats (Soloff et al ., 2000). These behaviors are often brought on by a breach in an intimate relationship (Gunderson, 2001). The most common scenario is an impulsive but non-lethal overdose, carried out in circumstances in which rescue is likely. Self-mutilation, particularly wrist-cutting, is also common in severe personality disorders (Gerson and Stanley, 2002). But this pattern should not always be considered as suicidal behavior. This behavior might have a different purpose from an overdose: instead of providing escape from a difficult situation, cutting functions as a means of regulating dysphoric affects (Brown et al ., 2002; Leibenluft et al ., 1987), and can take on some of the characteristics of an addiction (Linehan, 1993). Suicide attempts obviously require attention from therapists. However, it has never been shown that we can prevent patients with severe personality disorders from killing themselves. Moreover, it is very difficult to predict who is most at risk. In a population characterized by repeated suicide attempts, it is important to note that patients who make repeated attempts are statistically more at risk for completion (Zahl and Hawton, 2004).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
