“…Another important question is whether this relationship between psychopathic traits and BPD can be conditioned by gender. Although some authors consider that psychopathy and borderline disorder are actually different gender expressions of the same disorder ( 21 , 22 ), the existing literature does not show consistency on this issue ( 23 ). In our results, we found no significant differences in the total scores or in the scores of the primary and secondary psychopathy components of the Levenson Psychopathy Scale between men and women in both patients and controls.…”

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the presence of psychopathic features in BPD is related to dysfunction in executive functions and other neuropsychological functions in these patients.Methods: 82 patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and 54 control subjects were studied through clinical and neuropsychological evaluation protocols and the Levenson Psychopathy Inventory.Results: BPD patients showed significantly higher scores on both primary (F1) and secondary (F2) global rates of psychopathy, than controls. The results for these patients also showed a statistically significant association between high scores in primary psychopathy and deficits in executive functions. However, no associations were found between the scores of secondary psychopathy and executive dysfunction.Conclusion: Primary psychopathic features present in patients with BPD are associated with patterns of executive dysfunction. It would therefore be interesting to investigate the role of cognitive rehabilitation in the empathy dysfunctions within these disorders.

“…Although preliminary research suggests that the relationship between psychopathic traits and BPD may be conditioned by gender, specifically by a greater presence of psychopathy in female BPD ( 21 , 22 ), review of literature did not show consistent evidence for an association with sex ( 23 ).…”

“…Antisocial personality traits added no additional value to the model; in fact, the variable showed a negative path association with maladaptive personality traits. The existing research commonly reports an overlap between antisocial, borderline, and psychopathic traits (e.g., Barese, 2016;Hunt et al, 2015;Lopez-Villatoro et al, 2018;Paris, 1997;. For example, Hunt and colleagues suggested the factor two type psychopathy (i.e., impulsive lifestyle and antisocial tendencies; Hare, 2003) and borderline personality disorder overlap and share common risk factors (Hunt et al, 2015).…”

The Role of Personality Factors in Childhood Traumatic Events’ Impact on Treatment Progress

<p>Attrition rates in rehabilitative programmes for violent behaviour are concerning as exiting from treatment may have implications for individuals (e.g., further offending, diminished quality of life), the organisation providing the treatment (e.g., cost, ineffectiveness), and for the society (e.g., safety, trust in the criminal justice system). Therefore, it is necessary to consider factors that may hinder the progress and completion of the treatment of violent offending. This study aimed to extend Te Hiwi's (2020) findings on negative relationship between childhood traumatic events and treatment outcomes, by exploring the role of maladaptive personality traits in this relationship. The study was based on retrospective, file-based data of 417 men who attended the high-intensity rehabilitation programme in New Zealand. Binomial and logistic regression models predicting treatment progress and outcome as well as a structural equation model showed that maladaptive personality traits – antisocial, borderline, and psychopathic – had overall no significant role in the relationship between trauma and treatment progress, despite men who were high on psychopathic traits being less likely to complete the treatment. Traumatic childhood events had a negative impact on treatment progress. In addition, treatment progress in the presence of all types of trauma was a less frequent pattern configuration than statistically expected. These findings reiterate the need for further research on the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between childhood trauma and treatment of violent offending, and self-regulation was suggested as one such mechanism.</p>
