AB  - Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) show poor psychosocial 
      functioning over the course of their lives. To date, predictors of functionality 
      in BPD patients have remained mostly unexplored. In this study, we aimed to 
      assess the association between personality organization and clinical and 
      functional features in a sample of 50 patients with BPD referred to a specialized 
      outpatient clinic. We used the Structured Interview of Personality Organization 
      (STIPO) to assess personality organization and the Global Assessment of 
      Functioning (GAF) scale to measure functionality. Clinical and demographic 
      associations with personality organization were also explored. STIPO scores were 
      negatively correlated with GAF scores (i.e. higher scores in the STIPO 
      dimensions, which reflected greater personality pathology, were significantly 
      associated with lower psychosocial functioning). After controlling for potential 
      confounders, the STIPO domain "identity" significantly accounted for 26.7% of the 
      variance in the GAF, while the STIPO subscale "sense of self" significantly 
      accounted for 31.2% of the variance in the GAF. These findings suggest that 
      identity and its pathological correlate, identity diffusion, may play a key role 
      in the functional prognosis of BPD patients.
