Abstract in brief

  • Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) tend to have insecure attachment styles, characterized by intense and unstable relationships.
  • The study found that individuals with BPD are more prone to attachment patterns like angry withdrawal and compulsive care-seeking, compared to those with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD).
  • BPD patients also show higher scores on fears of losing or being unavailable to their attachment figures, which helps explain their interpersonal difficulties and can inform better therapeutic approaches.
