Abstract

Twenty-seven female inpatients with borderline personality disorder were assigned to two groups on the basis of whether they did (N = 14) or did not (N = 13) report experiencing pain during self-injurious episodes. Ratings of depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, dissociation, and trauma symptoms were higher in the women who did not experience pain while injuring themselves, as were the number of suicide attempts and the prevalence of childhood sexual abuse.
