What does it mean to have a personality disorder? Borderline personality disorder is characterized by intense emotional fluctuations, identity confusion, and unstable relationships with other people. Many individuals with this condition experience inner restlessness and difficulty managing their emotions and maintaining a consistent sense of self.
Psychologist Rikke Bøye from the Clinic for Personality Disorders and Suicide Prevention at Aarhus University Hospital presents a nuanced overview of borderline personality disorder. She draws on both research and practical experience from clinical work to illuminate the psychological challenges that characterize the condition and the underlying factors that may contribute to explaining its development. The lecture also covers treatment options and important perspectives that play a role in treating and understanding people with this diagnosis.
The event is part of Folkeuniversitet's knowledge festival Hearts & Minds. Admission is 50 kr. The venue is Dokk1/Aarhus Central Library.
