Stuck in a negative me: fMRI study on the role of disturbed self-views in social feedback processing in borderline personality disorder.

CONCLUSIONS: The negative self-views that BPD have, may obstruct critically examining negative feedback, resulting in lower mood. Moreover, where HC focus on the positive feedback (based on TPJ activation), BPD seem to focus more on negative feedback, potentially maintaining negative self-views. Better balanced self-views may make BPD better equipped to deal with potential negative feedback and more open to positive interactions. PMID: 30867073 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
