اختلال شخصیت ضداجتماعی و مرزی بازبینی‌شده

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.

7. Conclusions The strength of the research literature on ASPD and BPD supported the retention of these categories in DSM-5, and both diagnoses will continue to have an impact on practice. Applying the DSM-5 view of personality disorders, which focuses on trait profiles, the differences between these disorders are rooted in trait dimensions shaped by gender. For this reason, the influence of gender on symptoms is not an artefact, but a factor that partly determines specific psychopathological constellations. In summary, several lines of evidence suggest that BPD and ASPD are different disorders associated with unique trait profiles. We therefore reject our earlier conclusion [1], that ASPD and BPD are different aspects of the same underlying psychopathology.
