Suicide Attempts Among Men and Women with Partner Violence According to Borderline Personality Status

[摘要] Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with various aggressive behaviors toward persons, including partner violence, filicide (killing of one’s child), familicide (killing of one’s intimate partner and at least one child), and suicide attempts.1,2 Moreover, severe personality disorders have been associated with homicide.3-5 However, to our knowledge, no study has explored associations between BPD and past suicide attempts (i.e., self- aggression) in a population of individuals who exhibit violence toward partners. Explicitly, among a generally violent group of individuals, would the subsample with BPD symptomatology still be distinguished by suicide attempts?
