Abstract

This study assessed the prevalence of borderline personality symptomatology among women with eating disorders. The Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, and Borderline Syndrome Index were administered to 28 women in a hospital-based eating disorders program. Results revealed that 39% were classified as borderline on at least one measure, 29% on at least two measures, and 18% on all three. Recovered restricters were particularly prone to borderline personality symptomatology. This study improves upon previous work in this area by employing multiple measures of borderline personality, assessing eating disorder subgroup differences, and recruiting subjects from a single eating disorder treatment program.
