    The relationship between borderline personality organization and time perspective
    (İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Budan, Gonca; Sideris, Alev Çavdar
    This thesis aims to investigate the relationship between borderline personality organization from a psychoanalytic point of view of Kernberg and time perspective model of Zimbardo’s, defined by five orientations related to past (positive and negative), present (hedonistic and fatalistic) and future. Previous research has been done with DSM defined borderline personality as a disorder but borderline personality organization is more generalizable for non-clinical population and there has not been any study in this area before. Three surveys have been applied to 314 adults from non-clinical population. The major construct of borderline personality organization being identity diffusion, it has been found to be significantly related to Past-negative, Present-hedonistic and Present-fatalistic orientations of Time Perspective. Among other constructs of borderline personality, primitive defenses have been found as the strongest predictor of Past-negative orientation which is generally associated with low self-esteem and depression. Borderline features have also been associated with a new measure of time conceptualized as linear or non-linear, especially with disrupted temporality. Among demographic variables, relationship status has been found to be the strongest predictor of a Present-fatalistic orientation which is generally associated with a negative view of the world. The results are promising for further research and development of new tools for therapeutic work with people with borderline personality organization.
