Sign me up. Table 1: Number of papers found for each database. View Table 1. Regarding the BPD relationship with both of the psychopathy model factors, a closer association with factor 2 has been reported in several articles compared to factor 1. In this way, Miller, et al. However, this study has associated this correlation to the presence of shared personality traits, so the authors controlled certain domains of Five Personality Factor Model FFM , such as neuroticism and low acceptability, and, after this, the correlation between BPD and factor 2 psychopathy was reduced.
Huchzermeier, et al. In this way, Warren, et al. Conn, et al. Furthermore, this significant and positive link of BPD with F2 was also found in the results of Blonigen, et al. Results indicated a moderate negative genetic and non-shared environmental factors overlap between F1 and borderline features. On the contrary, there was a genetic and non-shared environmental factors overlap between F2 and BPD.
According to the authors, these results indicate that factors increasing F1 are protective against the BPD features and factors increasing F2 give rise to BPD features, and vice versa. Following this association between BPD and psychopathy factors, Sprague, et al. Contrary to this, results of Verona, et al. The study by Khan, et al. These results agree with those of Viljoen, et al.
This overlap between borderline personality disorder and psychopathic features was also studied by Chabrol and Leichsenring [ 26 ] in a non-clinical sample of adolescents, using the Borderline Personality Inventory BPI and Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale LSRP , showing significant correlations between the core criteria of the borderline personality organization and the psychopathic features. In this way, Centifanti, et al. The authors concluded that egocentric psychopathic traits are related to antisocial psychopathic traits, BPD traits, strategies of retention of the couple, furtive search for partners and coercion, and that antisocial psychopathic traits show a stronger association with the borderline traits.
Similarly, Newhill, et al. Subgroup 2, called low psychopathic, had the lowest psychopathic score and would benefit from a traditional DBT treatment. According to Newhill, et al. In this way of studying the possible relationship between these two disorders, the study by Chakhssi, et al.
Schema therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach with demonstrated efficacy in patients with borderline personality disorder. After the completion of the therapy the patient recovered a high level of functionality, with a full-time job, and without interpersonal relationship problems with his wife or his son, for example. In addition, the patient abandoned drug abuse and criminal behavior.
These improvements were still observed three years after the end of treatment. Also, this relationship is observed in the review of Murphy and Vess [ 30 ] about the overlap between Cluster B personality disorders and between these and psychopathy, within which we have found the study by Stanlenheim and von Knorring [ 7 ] whose results shown an association between BPD and psychopathy, an association that also occurs between psychopathy and APD, but while APD is limited to the behavioral descriptors of psychopathy, BPD also includes symptoms of emotional instability and interpersonal relationships problems that resemble the affective and interpersonal deficits of the psychopath.
However, Herpertz, et al. Following the study about the overlap between Cluster B personality disorders and psychopathy, Vossen, et al. It was also shown that for men, psychopathy was the only significant predictor of BPD, while for women, both psychopathy and machiavellianism were the strongest BPD predictors.
Finally, the review by Sarkar, et al. Table 2: Results summary. View Table 2. In this review, we have synthesized the existing literature on the relationship between psychopathy and borderline personality disorder. The selected studies suggest an association between BPD and factor 2 of psychopathy whereas only the study by Khan, et al. Confusing things further is the fact that many traits associated with psychopathy , like manipulativeness and ruthlessness in pursuit of goals, can be beneficial in some career contexts.
Plus, they all exist on a spectrum -- you can exhibit them strongly or just a little. Add that together and the result is some folks who meet the criteria for the condition function quite well in the world and never have cause to think they are on the psychopathic spectrum.
But they meet the criteria for psychopathy all the same, and if they have some reason to look closely such as a surprising-looking brain scan or a blog post , they can spot signs that they are a high-functioning psychopath , including:.
Turns out Fallon's way of dealing with anger is classic psychopath. Somebody ticks you off, you get mad. You get mad for five seconds, 30 seconds, a minute -- everybody. It's a normal thing. And your serotonin kicks in after about five minutes and it cools you down. Things work differently in the brains of psychopaths, even secret, high-functioning ones. They stay angry for months of even years, though no one would know it from the outside. I said I could be furious at you and you'd never know it.
I show no anger whatsoever I can sit on it for a year or two or three or five. But I'll get you. And I always do. And they don't know where it's coming from. They can't tie it to the event, and it comes out of nowhere," Fallon relates.
