Abstract

Comments on the article by F. Mancke et al. (see record 2015-31349-001). The article by Mancke et al. is an excellent review and synthesis of extant data to reformulate the phenomenon of aggression in borderline personality disorder (BPD) into a multidimensional model. It attempts to conceptualize aggression from the biobehavioral dimensions of affect dysregulation, impulsivity, threat hypersensitivity, and cognitive empathy based on data from self-reports and behavioral tasks, neuroimaging, neurochemistry, and psychophysiology. This is a clear contribution to the field. In this commentary, I will focus on some issues that reinforce the points they make in their excellent paper and/or add to them. (PsycINFO Database Record
