A person with schizoid personality disorder typically does not seek close relationships, chooses to be alone and seems to not care about praise or criticism from others. Schizotypal personality disorder: a pattern of being very uncomfortable in close relationships, having distorted thinking and eccentric behavior. A person with schizotypal personality disorder may have odd beliefs or odd or peculiar behavior or speech or may have excessive social anxiety.

Stay connected with family and friends; avoid becoming isolated. American Psychiatric Association. As presented in Table 1 , the four groups of participants did not differ as to age at the time of the interview or the proportions with children. Proportionately more of the participants with BPD, than those in the other three groups, presented anxiety disorders, with and without post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD. Lifetime diagnoses of hyperkinetic conduct disorder, child disturbance of emotions, conduct disorder, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, mental and behavioural disorders, substance use, adjustment disorders, overdoses and personality disorders extracted from official health files are presented in Table 2.
Very few of the participants had acquired diagnoses of childhood disorders. No participant received a diagnosis of ASPD. Analyses were conducted among the adult offenders. As shown in Fig.
BPD offenders had been convicted, on average, for approximately six times more violent crimes than offenders with ASPD and almost ten times more than ND offenders, although these differences were not statistically significant. Because of small and unequal group sizes, effect sizes must be interpreted with caution. Partial Eta-squared were, however, estimated and suggest moderate to large effect size.
Results are presented in Fig. Post-hoc tests indicated that participants with BPD did not differ from those with ND on any ratings at any age. Comparisons of teacher ratings at ages 6, 10, and 12 of men with Borderline Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder, and neither disorder. Overall, the prevalence of BPD was There was no difference in the prevalence of BPD-only among convicted offenders 3.
This finding suggests that previous studies reporting high rates of BPD among offenders [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 48 ]may not have diagnosed comorbid ASPD. As would be expected, one-third of the offenders and only 5. Four key findings emerged.
One, BPD was associated with violent crime in adulthood among men with no history of violent crime in adolescence. A similar increase in violence with age was observed among the men with BPD. Although two men with BPD had acquired convictions for violence in adulthood, neither had been convicted for violence in adolescence.
These results suggest that among men with BPD, whether or not it is comorbid with ASPD, for some unknown reason, the transition to adulthood is associated with an increased risk of violence. This pattern of stable antisocial behaviour from childhood onwards has been robustly documented in prospective studies [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ]. This finding concurs with previous studies of ASPD showing elevated rates of non-violent offending, and lower rates of violent offending [ 26 ].
However, one study of adult male violent offenders with high PCL-R scores identified two sub-groups, one presenting high levels of trait anxiety and borderline personality features [ 54 ]. A similar sub-group was also identified among adolescents with high psychopathic trait scores [ 55 ]. Importantly, among three-year old children, a sub-group presenting high levels of callousness, externalizing, and internalizing behaviours was identified and these characteristics remained stable into adolescence [ 56 ].
Psychopathic traits have been shown to emerge in early childhood [ 57 ] and to remain relatively stable from childhood through early adulthood [ 58 ], and thus it is difficult to understand why and how they would contribute to an increase in violent offending in adulthood and not earlier.
In another study of adult offenders, impulsive aggression was associated with the sum of facet 3 and 4 scores only among those with generalized anxiety disorder [ 59 ]. Importantly, however, our study included no measures specific to BPD. These findings are consistent with results of studies of children and adolescents showing that those presenting BPD features presented elevated rates of conduct disorder [ 33 ].
Yet few of the participants in the present study were recognized by the health system as presenting either externalizing or internalizing problems in childhood.
Conduct problems in children are reduced when their parents complete parenting programs [ 61 , 62 ], the antecedents of psychopathy are reduced by warm, optimal parenting [ 63 ], and when parents complete specific parenting programs [ 64 ]. Antisocial parents are known to provide non-optimal parenting and to have children with conduct problems [ 65 ], and they may be resistant to participating in parent-training programs.
A recent report of Quebec health system data concluded that a diagnosis of a personality disorder is given only when it is considered the primary disorder [ 66 ].
The principal strength of the present study was the data prospectively collected over 27 years of a relatively large sample of males. Another strength was the use of structured and validated instruments administered by clinicians trained specifically to use these instruments to diagnose mental disorders and assess psychopathic traits. Different classroom teachers at age 6, 10, and 12 provided ratings of behaviours.
A final strength was the availability of official juvenile and adult criminal records and health records. The principal weakness of the study was the large proportion of cohort members who did not complete the age 33 follow-up.
Comparisons of those who did and did not complete the follow-up showed that the interviewed participants were characterized by lower levels of disruptive behaviours in childhood, and less delinquency in adolescence than the non-interviewed.
Consequently, findings likely underestimate the association of BPD with antisocial behaviour. Despite this bias in the interviewed sample, meaningful associations with antisocial behaviour and crime were identified.
Another limitation was the absence of measures of BPD features in childhood. Another weakness of the study was the absence of information about maltreatment in childhood. The small number of participants with BPD did not allow multivariate analyses. The present study examined males followed from age 6 to By age 24, one-third had acquired at least one criminal charge, and by age 33, of the who consented to a criminal record check, Diagnostic interviews revealed that Further, BPD comorbid with ASPD was associated with elevated levels of psychopathic traits, anxiety, major depression, alcohol, and drug dependence.
Yet, few had been recognized by the health system as presenting either internalizing or externalizing disorders in childhood. Given recent evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of optimal parenting in reducing these antecedents, research is urgently needed to trial childhood interventions aimed at preventing the development of BPD.

Borderline personality disorder, Psychopathy, Antisocial personality disorder, Impulsivity, Aggressiveness. Borderline Personality Disorder BPD is described as a severe mental condition characterized by high affective instability, impulsive behaviors, autolytic attempts, or unstable interpersonal relationships [ 1 ].
Previous literature on BPD has focused mainly on symptoms of mood and anxiety and self-injurious behavior [ 2 , 3 ] but relatively little is known about the association between borderline personality disorder and psychopathic traits.
Psychopathy is a mental condition characterized by a deficit of emotional processing, interpersonal relationships and self-regulation. Individuals with psychopathic traits engage in callous and manipulative behavior with others and exhibit antisocial and impulsive behaviors [ 4 ]. The predominant model of psychopathy during the last two decades has been the two-factor model [ 5 ], from which most self-report measures of psychopathy have been constructed. On the other hand, factor 2 F2 refers to impulsive-antisocial behaviors, such as the susceptibility to boredom, difficulties for planning, irresponsibility, aggression and delinquency [ 5 ].
Psychopathy has traditionally been linked to the diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder APD , but recent research suggests that APD is related only to certain aspects of Factor 2 of psychopathy [ 6 ]. Stanlenheim and Von Knorring [ 7 ] suggested that borderline personality disorder was even closer to psychopathy than antisocial personality disorder, since APD is mainly limited to behavioral alterations, whereas BPD presents affective and interpersonal deficits in the same line as psychopathy.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5 th edition DSM-V [ 1 ] APD shares the domains of the Personality Inventory for DSM-V PID-5 [ 8 ] disinhibition and antagonism with psychopathy but does not include interpersonal efficacy, emotional resilience and intrinsic temperament elements despite of many authors consider as the characteristics of psychopathy [ 9 ].
Other studies [ 10 ], correlate BPD with factor 2 of psychopathy. Research focused on psychopathy factors suggest that BPD traits are more strongly associated with F2 traits than with F1 traits [ 11 , 12 ]. This relationship may be due to the symptoms shared between the secondary psychopath and patient with BPD, such as impulsivity, emotional instability and reactive aggression [ 13 ].
According to this, Rogers, et al. This is why some researchers have argued that psychopathy represents a feminine phenotypic expression of personality disorder [ 16 ]. Neurological and cognitive similarities have also been described for both syndromes, psychopathy and BPD, with functional abnormalities observed at the prefrontal level and in the amygdala, associated with such features as reactive aggression, disinhibition and affective intensity [ 17 ].
The objective of this study is to review the scientific literature on psychopathy and psychopathic traits and their relationship with borderline personality disorder. The inclusion criteria for papers in this review were: 1 Publication date between and ; 2 English language and 3 Papers including psychopathy related to borderline personality disorder, or vice versa.
The following keywords were used in the title, summary or full text of the papers in order to make the initial selection of the bibliographic search: "borderline personality disorder'', "borderline traits'', "borderline states'', "psychopathy '', "psychopathic". According to their importance in psychiatric and psychological research, the electronic databases used in the review were the following: Pubmed, PsycInfo, Google Scholar and Scopus.
Results obtained from the initial selection for each database are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. Figure 1: Flow Diagram: A total of 92 papers were found in this initial selection after eliminating duplicates.
A second selection was made after discarding those papers not meeting the inclusion criteria. A total of 52 articles were collected and reviewed in full text.
Finally, after the full text analysis, a total of 18 scientific articles were selected. View Figure 1. Table 1: Number of papers found for each database.

Because they are both personality disorders, antisocial personality disorder ASPD shares many of the same traits as borderline personality disorder BPD.
However, the causes of these conditions and the ways in which they manifest can be strikingly different. Cluster B disorders are characterized by overly emotional, dramatic, and unpredictable thinking and behavior.
