Psychological support to enhance parenting capacity in people with personality disorders

Psychological support to improve the parenting capacity of persons with personality disorders

Personality disorders should be understood not as determinants of parenting failure, but as conditions associated with specific vulnerabilities that can be modified through relationship-based interventions.

Parenting among individuals with personality disorders remains an underexplored area in clinical practice, despite the fact that many of these individuals are parents and are highly motivated to provide sensitive care for their children. This talk examines current evidence on parenting in narcissistic, borderline, and schizoid personality disorders through the lenses of attachment theory, mentalization research, developmental psychopathology, and dimensional models of personality functioning (the DSM-5 Alternative Model and ICD-11). The emphasis is on shifting from a diagnosis-focused perspective to a relationship-based approach that views parenting capacity as a dynamic and modifiable construct. Beyond diagnostic categories, the talk highlights transdiagnostic mechanisms that influence parenting: emotion regulation, parental reflective functioning, attachment security, empathy, interpersonal functioning, and epistemic trust. It reviews evidence-based interventions aimed not only at reducing psychiatric symptoms but also at strengthening parenting capacity: Mentalization-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy–informed parenting interventions, Child–Parent Psychotherapy, Circle of Security, Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Positive Parenting, and Mother and Baby Units. It argues that by strengthening reflective functioning, emotion regulation, and the parent–child relationship, clinicians can foster resilience and help prevent the intergenerational transmission of adversity.
