Which client statement most accurately reflects the cognitive dysfunction associated with borderline personality disorder (BPD)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People with BPD have dichotomous thinking. Cognitively, they evaluate experiences, people, and objects in terms of mutually exclusive categories (e.g., good or bad, success or failure, trustworthy or deceitful), which results in extreme interpretations of events that would normally be viewed as including both positive and negative aspects. The statement about being a total failure is an example. None of the other options describes this characteristic.
