Abstract
Communication samples between individuals with BPD and their partners (N = 18 couples) were coded for positive, constructive, and hostile communication. Both partners used significantly more constructive communication, and there was no effect of BPD diagnosis on communication use. Couples were misaligned in their use of constructive communication.
