Abstract
We examined childhood predictors of Borderline Personality Disorder in a longitudinal community sample (see Klein & Finsaas, 2017, n=609). Youths were assessed triennially from ages 3 to 18, and findings showed that temperament and parenting at ages 3, 6, and 9 significantly predicted borderline personality disorder traits at age 18.
