Antisocial and borderline personality disorders: two separate diagnoses or two aspects of the same psychopathology?
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) have a number of points of overlap: in symptoms, in personality dimensions that underlie their phenomenology, in community prevalence, in risk factors, and in outcome and response to treatment. Both disorders have a common base in impulsive personality traits, but the behavioral differences between them are shaped by gender. Further research is suggested to explore the commonalities and differences between ASPD and BPD.
