Despite several risk factors being known, identifying vulnerable patients in clinical practice remains a challenge so far. The current study aimed at predicting suicide attempts among BPD patients during disorder-specific psychotherapeutic interventions exploiting machine learning techniques. The study took into account several potential predictors relevant to BPD psychopathology: emotion dysregulation, temperamental and character factors, attachment style, impulsivity, and aggression. The sample included 69 patients with BPD who completed the Temperament and Character Inventory, Attachment Style Questionnaire, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, and Aggression Questionnaire at baseline and after 6 months of psychotherapy. To detect future suicide attempts, baseline questionnaires were entered as predictors into an elastic net penalized regression, whose predictive performance was assessed through nested fivefold cross-validation. At the same time, 5000 iterations of a non-parametric bootstrap were used to determine predictors’ robustness. The elastic net model discriminating BPD suicide attempters from non-attempters reached a balanced accuracy of 64.09% and an area under the receiver operating curve of 70.44%. High preoccupation with relationships, harm avoidance, and reward dependence, along with low motor impulsiveness, verbal aggression, cooperativeness, and self-transcendence were the most contributing predictors. Our findings suggest that interpersonal vulnerability and internalizing factors are the strongest predictors of future suicide attempts in BPD. Machine learning on self-report psychological scales may be helpful to identify individuals at suicidal risk, potentially helping clinical settings to develop individualized preventive strategies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15395,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Psychology","volume":"81 4","pages":"222-236"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142921824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disordered eating can be maintained through negative reinforcement of painful and unpleasant emotions such as guilt, shame, sadness, and hostility. Hostility is a negative emotion that may be particularly relevant for service members and Veterans, yet hostility's relation to disordered eating remains understudied. Further, variability in emotions may be particularly relevant, given that variability in emotions is often a stronger predictor of psychopathology than mean levels. Thus, the goal of the present study was to assess a potential bidirectional relationship between disordered eating symptoms and individuals' variability of hostility, stress, anxiety, sadness, and shame. Participants (<i>N</i> = 94, <i>M</i>_age = 32.2, 75.8% men; 81.8% White) completed 30 days of ecological momentary assessment (EMA) with four assessments per day along with baseline and follow-up measures including the Eating Pathology Symptom Interview (EPSI), which assessed eight disordered eating symptom domains. Hierarchical regressions revealed that higher baseline levels of Binge Eating and Excessive Exercise predicted greater intraindividual hostility variability. Further, more hostility variability predicted higher Cognitive Restraint at 1-month follow-up. Baseline disordered eating symptoms were not associated with intraindividual variability in stress, anxiety, sadness, or shame. However, greater intraindividual variability in shame predicted higher Muscle Building at 1-month follow-up.

DBT is considered a transdiagnostic treatment approach to address emotion dysregulation, which shifts the therapy focus traditionally placed only on behavioral change toward including also validation and acceptance and dialectical strategies. DBT addresses eating symptomatology as a dysfunctional form of emotional regulation and has shown promising results regarding its efficacy for the treatment of BPD and EDNOS comorbidity.

During pretreatment and phase 1, individual therapy aims to improve and maintain client's motivation to change and engage in treatment, as well as to establish and prioritize treatment goals. As for group therapy, the main goal of the skills training in DBT is to enhance individual's capability by increasing skillful behavior (mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills).
