Summary

Processes of emotional dysregulation, in their most severe forms, include not only intense, volatile, and uncontrollable emotions but are often associated with serious disturbances in how persons relate to others, the world, and themselves. The syndrome of phenomena that manifest these disturbances, including strong emotions, aberrant feelings of emptiness, unstable interpersonal relationships, and shifting identities, are often considered in terms of a personality disorder: borderline personality disorder (BPD).
