Abstract
Abstract
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) have an overlap in both symptoms and risk factors, suggesting that they might reflect the same form of psychopathology, shaped by gender. However other lines of evidence point to the presence of partly unique, albeit overlapping, trait dimensions, specifically affective instability which differentiates BPD from ASPD. Our conclusion is that ASPD and BPD are separate disorders.
