The aim of this research was to understand how physiological and psychological aging processes affect aging adults with personality disorders and how these individuals navigate these changes. Research has only recently shifted focus to identifying and understanding personality disorders in aging adults. Individuals with personality disorders often have lowered flexibility, resilience, and self-awareness (Crawford et al., 2004). It was hypothesized that individuals with personality disorders would have less integrated life experiences, more negative processes such as guilt, regret, bitterness, and fewer successful aging experiences. This experiential, qualitative research study was designed to examine how aging adults with personality disorders approach aging through the life review process and how themes of "Successful Aging'' are present in their aging experience. This study consisted of six participants, three with historical diagnoses of personality disorders, and three without. Successful aging literature was examined and a number of themes indicating successful aging and less-successful aging were extracted. Semi-structured interviews were then conducted utilizing the Life Review Interview Schedule, and these interviews were analyzed for presence of successful aging themes. Findings from this research indicate all six participants experienced at least some instances of successful aging, with all six participants endorsing themes of Resilience, Relational Wellness, Self Awareness/Hindsight, Positive Affect, High Levels of Meaning in Life, and Engagement in the Life Review. Overall, individuals in the personality disorder group endorsed lower rates of successful aging and higher rates of less-successful aging. Individuals in the non-disordered group endorsed overall higher rates of successful aging and lower-to-no rates of less-successful aging. These results are consistent with expected outcomes in which participants with Personality Disorder pathology would experience lower levels of successful aging and higher rates of less-successful aging given their long-standing, persistent personality pathology.
