Abstract

This research aims to investigate the psychological conditions of Josh's character in Sonia Mael's No Ordinary Love novel through borderline personality disorder theory by John G. Gunderson. A borderline personality disorder is an intense emotional dysregulation that can affect someone's personality. The research uses a qualitative method, and the writers are the instrument themselves. In order to analyse Josh's character, the writers use the characterisation theory by Richard Gill. Besides that, the writers focus on character psychological problems with borderline personality disorder theory by John G. Gunderson, which has several concepts; signs and symptoms, causes and impacts, and its developed traits. The result of the research is that Josh's character has a distortion in his personality growth because of his childhood trauma which developed his personality and emotion in what he experienced and perceived. As an educated person, he is good at positively managing things, as his thoughts try to stay sane in living his life. However, his emotional-behavioural management is disturbed by how his experience and self-growth developed his perceptions. In addition, he has developed all nine signs and symptoms of BPD which is also added by several other traits associated with how he acted out as a high-functioning BPD type. Although he has grown up unconsciously developing it, the positive traits also remain to keep it together in himself. In sum, his behaviour is proven to be borderline personality disorder symptoms caused by the personality growth he passed since traumatic experiences in his childhood.
索尼娅·梅尔《不平凡的爱情小说》中乔希角色的边缘性人格障碍
本研究旨在运用John G. Gunderson的边缘型人格障碍理论来考察索尼娅·梅尔小说《不平凡的爱》中Josh角色的心理状态。边缘型人格障碍是一种强烈的情绪失调,会影响一个人的个性。本研究采用定性方法,作者本身就是研究工具。为了分析乔希的性格,作者运用了理查德·吉尔的人物塑造理论。除此之外,作者还将John G. Gunderson的边缘型人格障碍理论重点放在了人物心理问题上,该理论有几个概念;体征和症状,原因和影响,及其发展特征。研究结果表明,由于童年的创伤,Josh的性格和情感在他所经历和感知的事物中发展,他的性格和情感在他的人格成长中存在扭曲。作为一个受过良好教育的人,他善于积极地管理事物,因为他的思想试图在生活中保持理智。然而,他的情绪行为管理被他的经历和自我成长如何发展他的认知所干扰。此外,他已经发展出了BPD的所有九种体征和症状,还有其他一些特征与他作为高功能BPD类型的表现有关。虽然他在成长过程中不知不觉地发展了这种能力,但他身上仍然保留着积极的特质,使之保持在一起。综上所述,他的行为被证明是边缘性人格障碍症状,这是由于他在童年的创伤经历中经历的人格成长所引起的。
