Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by disturbances in emotional, behavioral, and social functioning. The relation between BPD and empathy is complex because conflicting evidence exists of the levels of empathic processing related to the disorder. Haas and Miller (2015) studied the association between BPD traits and brain activity during an empathic processing task. Higher BPD trait scores were associated with hypoactivity in two brain regions involved in cognitive empathy. These data provide support to existing models describing the heterogeneous nature of BPD and suggest that reduced neural activity may in part affect altered empathic processing in BPD.
