TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Borderline disorders and the risk of suicide JO - New trends in experimental and clinical psychiatry A1 - Pascolo-Fabrici, E. A1 - De Maria, F. A1 - De Vanna, M. A1 - Aguglia, E. SP - 151 EP - 156 VL - 14 IS - 3 N2 - The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between suicide and borderline personality disorder. The Authors focus their attention on the correlations to the comorbidity of the borderline disorder with affective disorders and other pathologies and to the fragility of the personality structure. They conclude suggesting to consider the features of impulsiveness and aggression, peculiar of borderline disorder, aside from any nosographical distinction serving by a 'dimensional' assessment. This way seems to correspond more fully to an effective evaluation of suicide risk in personality disorders.
