  • Title: Elucidating the association between the self-harm inventory and several borderline personality measures in an inpatient psychiatric sample.
    Author: Sellbom M, Sansone RA, Songer DA.
    Journal: Int J Psychiatry Clin Pract; 2017 Sep; 21(3):231-235. PubMed ID: 28362142.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The current study evaluated the utility of the self-harm inventory (SHI) as a proxy for and screening measure of borderline personality disorder (BPD) using several diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM)-based BPD measures as criteria. METHODS: We used a sample of 145 psychiatric inpatients, who completed the SHI and a series of well-validated, DSM-based self-report measures of BPD. RESULTS: Using a series of latent trait and latent class analyses, we found that the SHI was substantially associated with a latent construct representing BPD, as well as differentiated latent classes of 'high' vs. 'low' BPD, with good accuracy. CONCLUSIONS: The SHI can serve as proxy for and a good screening measure for BPD, but future research needs to replicate these findings using structured interview-based measurement of BPD.
