The associated features, high rates of comorbidity and chronicity of
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) raise
questions regarding the distinctiveness of the two disorders. The present study expands
upon previous literature by providing an investigation of clinical features across two
groups: PTSD only and comorbid PTSD and BPD in a sample of male veterans (n=178).
Results suggest that the two groups were distinct, with the comorbid group displaying
higher levels of depression, hostility, alcohol use and general psychopathology. Groups
did not differ on rates of personal trauma, adult sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse,
attack, accident or disaster. The two groups did differ significantly on rates of childhood
violence.
