Adolescent alcohol use disorders predict adult borderline personality

Article Abstract:

Adolescent alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are investigated to predict adult borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms by using details of childhood physical and/or sexual abuse (PSA) history, semi-structured interviews and young adult follow-up assessment. Results are consistent with the conceptualization of BPD as a severe manifestation of a multiplicity of phenotypes indicating psychological dysregulation and a model, which mediated between PSA and BPD, is presented.
