Abstract

The article focuses on a study investigating the relationship between symptom severity and temporal experience in individuals with various personality disorders (PD), including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The research involved 63 participants diagnosed with different types of PD, utilizing measures such as the Polish Short Version of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory and Cottle's Circles Test to assess their temporal orientation. Findings indicate that individuals with PD tend to have a more negative past orientation and a diminished focus on the present and future compared to healthy individuals, with severity of the disorder correlating with these temporal perceptions. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding temporality as a key aspect of the lived experience in personality disorders. [Extracted from the article]
