Prior to viewing the videotape, participants were randomly allocated to one of three conditions and were given the following information about the patient: (a) general background information; (b) additional descriptive information about behaviour corresponding to BPD; and (c) additional descriptive information about behaviour corresponding to BPD, but explicitly adding BPD as a possible comorbid diagnostic label. All participants were then asked to note things they had seen in the videotape that made them feel optimistic or pessimistic about treatment outcome. <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Participants in the group that were explicitly informed that the patient had a BPD diagnostic label reported significantly fewer reasons to be optimistic than the other two groups. <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Diagnostic labels may negatively impact on clinicians\u2019 judgments and perceptions of individuals and therefore clinicians should think carefully about whether, and how, they use diagnoses and efforts should be made to destigmatize diagnostic terms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1352465815000351","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,25]],"date-time":"2015-08-25T13:40:19Z","timestamp":1440510019000},"page":"361-373","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["An experimental Investigation of the Impact of Personality Disorder Diagnosis on Clinicians: Can We See Past the Borderline?"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Danny C.K.","family":"Lam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elena V.","family":"Poplavskaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul M.","family":"Salkovskis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorna I.","family":"Hogg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holly","family":"Panting","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1352465815000351_ref017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09638239718671"},{"key":"S1352465815000351_ref029","first-page":"5","article-title":"Diagnoses and the behaviours they denote: a critical evaluation of the labelling of mental illness","volume":"3","author":"Ruscio","year":"2004","journal-title":"Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice"},{"key":"S1352465815000351_ref018","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lam D. , Salkovskis P.
