Aims & scope
Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotion Dysregulation will provide a platform for researchers and clinicians interested in borderline personality disorder (BPD) as a currently highly challenging psychiatric disorder. Emotion dysregulation is at the core of BPD but also stands on its own as a major pathological component of the underlying neurobiology of various other psychiatric disorders. The journal will focus on epidemiology, phenomenology, pathophysiology, treatment, neurobiology and genetics of BPD, as well as research utilizing animal models pertinent to BPD.
