N2  - The main aim of this article is to compare the prevalence of four forms of physically self-destructive behavior in the offspring of parents with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and compare them to the offspring of parents with other personality disorders (OPD). At the 4- and 6-year waves in a prospective study of the long-term course of BPD, participants were asked to report on the self-destructive behaviors of their children using the Childhood Self-Destructiveness Scale. A total of 68 parents were interviewed regarding 131 children, 104 of whom were offspring of parents with BPD (n = 55) and 27 were offspring of parents with OPD (n = 13). BPD parents reported significantly more self-injury and substance abuse in their children than OPD parents. The results from this study suggest that both direct and indirect forms of self-destructive behavior are both more common and quite specific for the children of parents with BPD.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
