TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Impulse control disorders in borderline and antisocial personality disorder JO - MMW: Fortschritte der Medizin A1 - Herpertz, S. SP - 33 EP - 36 VL - 149 IS - 3 N2 - A borderline personality disorder is associated with highly impulsive acts that cannot be controlled by cognitive inhibition. In a psychopathic/antisocial personality disorder emotional inhibition of hostile acts is lacking.The patient has a high proclivity for risk-seeking, and is incapable of responding appropriately to punishment. In both disorders, the result is (auto)aggressive behavior. The family doctor must refer such patients to a specialist, when there is an acute danger of self-harm or when a grave functional limitation in the areas of work or interpersonal relationship has persisted over a long period of time.
