Abstract
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a significant public health problem characterized by persistent
problems with emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and interpersonal functioning. Research indicates an especially
high rate orbidity between BPD and Substance Use Disorders (SUD). In trying to better understand, and
therefore improve the assessment, prevention, and treatment of these disorders, researchers have considered the
role of impulsivity. Indeed, impulsivity consistently has been shown to be a biologically-based, heritable
characteristic with emergent psychological properties linked to the development and maintenance of BPD and
SUD. Following from a previous review of orbidity between BPD and SUD (Trull, T. J., Sher, K. J.,
Minks-Brown, C., Durbin, J., & Burr, R. (2000). Borderline personality disorder and substance use disorders: A
review and integration. Clinical Psychology Review, 20, 235–253), the current manuscript revisits the role of
impulsivity as mon process across these disorders with a specific focus on the multidimensional nature of
impulsivity and its interaction with trait and state negative affectivity.
