    基督教聖經之智慧書導讀 : Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), as conceptualized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition (DSM-5, 2013), is a severe form of psychopathology characterized by instability of affect, impulsivity, self-harm, chaotic interpersonal relationships, and identity confusion. As it is currently understood, BPD is an often stigmatized, misunderstood, and routinely misdiagnosed disorder, both in clinical practice and amongst general societal consensus (e.g., Klein et al., 2021; Lawn et al., 2015; Warrender et al., 2020). There is a dearth of interpretive research depicting the complex nature of what it is like to live with BPD symptomatology. This feminist critique of BPD works to explore the sociocultural implications and gendered nature of this diagnosis as well as the consequences of stigma and stereotypes. The purpose of this research is to shift perspective and create new pathways for dialogue about BPD symptomology and the people who are diagnosed with BPD: to learn from experience rather than conceptualizing based on checked boxes or overly reductive diagnostic categories. Seven individuals, ranging from ages 19 - 34 were interviewed about their lived experience of their BPD diagnosis. Findings were analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) along with the incorporation of I-poems from the Listening Guide (Gilligan et al., 2003). The main themes derived from the data set are as follows: (1) negative interactions with professionals, (2) prevalence of comorbidity and misdiagnosis, (3) issues with attachment, (4) mirroring others, (5) responsibility for controlling the narrative, (6) stereotypes and stigma, (7) the double-edged sword of a BPD diagnosis, and (8) debunking stereotypes: what someone with BPD wants others to know. These thematic areas speak to the complex nature of the lived experience of BPD; the rich, embodied effects of these themes are further illuminated via the evocative emotionality of the I-poems. Implications for researchers and clinicians are discussed.
