Variations of “Borderline Personality Disorder” | “Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder” (Cluster B - The Dramatic, Emotional and Erratic)

Dr. Theodore Millon identified four different subtypes of “Borderline Personality Disorder”, which correspond well with Dr. Christine Ann Lawson's four borderline subtypes from her book, “Understanding The Borderline Mother: Helping Her Children Transcend The Intense, Unpredictable, and Volatile Relationship”. While persons with BPD are individuals they tend to favor one subtype; but there are a proportion of those with BPD that may have overlapping traits from the differing subtypes; depending on exactly how disordered they are in character and how far along the spectrum they are towards malignancy.

The main distinction seems to be between “borderlines” who are mostly lower-functioning and “inward-acting” and with those who are mostly higher-functioning and “outward-acting”. A proportion of sufferers with “borderline personality disorder” may have a combination of both styles and “act-out” as well as “acting-in” on themselves. “Quiet borderlines” lean towards being “inward-acting” but higher-functioning.

High-Functioning and Low-Functioning: http://outofthefog.website/other-articles/2015/12/12/high-functioning-and-low-functioning
___________________________________________________________

Typically “Inward-Acting” - “NEUROTIC” BORDERLINE TYPE - Depressive Anaclitic Type (mostly Lower-Functioning Conventional “Classic Borderlines” or Higher-Functioning Unconventional “Quiet Borderlines”) but in a proportion of those who are typically Lower-Functioning they may also have a combination of both Lower-Functioning & Higher-Functioning “Classic Borderline” characteristics.

The Discouraged Borderline (The “fearful” subtype) (“The Hermit”, The defining characteristic of this type of borderline is acting “fearful”) - Avoidant, “Melancholic” Depressive or Dependent features. Pliant, submissive, humble, feels vulnerable or in constant jeopardy; feels hopeless, depressed, helpless, and powerless.

Discouraged Borderlines (Hermits) tend to be clingy, go along with the crowd, and walk around feeling somber and dejected. Deep inside, they are often angry and disappointed with others. While their anger can explode outwards, they are much more likely to do harm to themselves by self-mutilating or even by feeling suicidal or by threatening suicide. This subtype may have traits of “dependent personality disorder”, “avoidant personality disorder” and/or “depressive personality disorder” or the disorder/s as co-occurring diagnosis.

Discouraged Borderlines (Hermits) operate in “Abandoned Child schema mode”, believing themselves unworthy of love and affection, and behaving accordingly.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Self-Destructive Borderline (The “vulnerable” subtype) (“The Waif”, The defining characteristic of this type of borderline is acting “helpless”) - “Melancholic” Depressive or Masochistic features. Inward turning; intropunitively angry: conforming, deferential, and ingratiating behaviors have deteriorated; increasingly high-strung and moody.

The Self-Destructive Borderline (Waif) is marked by a constant sense of bitterness turned inward. Their levels of self-hatred can often reach monumental proportions, leading them into all types of conscious and unconscious self-destructive behaviors, ranging from poor healthcare and hygiene to reckless driving to performing humiliating sexual acts. They often suffer from depression as a co-occurring diagnosis and are often self-injurers. They “need” someone to save them, but ultimately refuse assistance because helplessness feels safe. This subtype may have traits of “self-defeating personality disorder” and/or “depressive personality disorder” as co-occurring diagnosis.

This type operates in an “Abandoned Child schema mode”. Since he or she does not feel loved, he or she reacts in self-destructive ways in an attempt to feel something instead of nothing.

___________________________________________________________

Typically “Outward-Acting” - “PSYCHOTIC” IMPULSIVE TYPE - Narcissistic “Arrogant/Entitled” Type or “Depressed/Depleted” Type | Antisocial “Aggressive” Type or “Passive/Parasitic” Type (mostly “Higher-Functioning” Invisible Borderlines) - “Classic Borderline” - Typically a “High Conflict Personality”

The Petulant Borderline (The “narcissistic” subtype) (“The Queen”, The defining characteristic of this type of borderline is acting “controlling”) - “Negativistic” Passive-Aggressive features. Impatient, restless, stubborn, defiant, sullen, pessimistic, resentful; easily slighted and quickly disillusioned.

The Petulant Borderline (Queen) is torn between relying upon people and at the same time keeping their distance for fear of disappointment. They vacillate between feelings of “unworthiness” and “anger”. This “anger” can be quite explosive, reminiscent of “narcissistic rage” or even “Intermittent explosive disorder”.

The Petulant Borderline (Queen) operates in an “Angry Child schema mode”. He or she is angry and will hurt friends and family as a result. He or she often does not recognize the anger - the world is the problem, not them. This subtype has traits of “passive-aggressive personality disorder” and may have “narcissistic personality disorder” and feature “the syndrome of malignant narcissism”, “the syndrome of arrogance” and “machiavellianism” and also traits of “antisocial personality disorder” and feature “sadistic tendencies” within aggression. This subtype may also feature “pseudostupidity” which protects them from any self reflection and may also be part of the “The Dark Triad of Borderline Personality Disorder, Vulnerable “Depressed/Depleted” or Grandiose “Arrogant/Entitled” Narcissism and Factor 2 Psychopathy”.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Impulsive Borderline (The “dramatic/antisocial” subtype) (“The Witch”, The defining characteristic of this type of borderline is acting “sadistic”) - Histrionic or Antisocial features. Capricious, superficial, flighty, distractable, seductive; fearing loss, becomes agitated, gloomy, and irritable.

The Impulsive Borderline (Witch) tends to be flirtatious, captivating, charismatic, and elusive. They are highly energetic thrill-seekers who are easily bored and seem to have a never ending appetite for attention and excitement. They will often act without thinking, and the result is chaos for everyone involved. This type is in constant conflict with society. Bouts of violence are not uncommon. This subtype may have “antisocial personality disorder” and feature “sadism” and “machiavellianism” and/or traits of “histrionic personality disorder” or the disorder/s as co-occurring diagnosis.

The Impulsive Borderline (Witch) is operating in “Abandoned Child schema mode” (pleas for attention), as well as “Angry Child schema mode”. The Angry Child believes that other people deserve to be punished for the borderline's pain, and behaves accordingly.
