N2 - Medical charts of 85 patients diagnosed with Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB) were reviewed to assess for symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). One patient met criteria for BPD. Participants presented with a mean of one BPD symptom. The most commonly observed symptoms were "impulsivity in at least two areas," "affective instability" and "feelings of emptiness." Each symptom was broken down into a set of traits or symptom indicators. The most commonly observed symptom indicators were persistent dysphoric mood, unsafe sex practices, substance abuse, and negative self-image. The evidence does not suggest a strong relationship between BPD and CSB.
