consecutively studied borderline inpatients, with an aver-
age of three or more attempts at the time of initial assess-
ment (4). Comorbidity with borderline personality disor-
der increases the likelihood of suicidal behavior in other
high-risk disorders (5). Some population studies found a
comorbid diagnosis of borderline personality disorder in
one-quarter to one-third of completed suicides (6, 7), and
in half of parasuicidal patients admitted to hospital (8),
although prevalence varied greatly with sample character-
istics and study methods. With a suicide completion rateup to 10% and a community prevalence estimated at 2%
in the Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study (9), border-
line personality disorder is a high-risk, clinically relevant
model for the study of suicidal behavior.
A history of prior attempts is among the most power-
ful predictors of completed suicide. While only 10%15%
of suicide attempters become completers, 30%40% of
completers have a history of attempts (10). Previous at-
tempts increase the likelihood of subsequent attempts

Suicide is a rare event, with an incidence of 12.0 deathsper 100,000 population (www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/sui-
cide.htm). The rarity of suicide makes it impossible to pre-
dict on the basis of known risk factors if or when a given
patient will die by suicide (1). While it is impossible to pre-
dict individual suicides, suicide rates in the general popu-
lation may be reduced by systematic physician education
on the identication and treatment of modiable risk fac-
tors (2). Identifying clinically relevant risk and protective
factors requires prospective studies of patients at highrisk for suicide that use multidimensional assessments
and systematic follow-up. The results of such studies are
immediately applicable to clinical assessments and treat-
ment interventions.
Borderline personality disorder is the only DSM-IV di-
agnosis dened in part by recurrent suicidal and self-in-
jurious behaviors (called the behavioral specialty of the
borderline patient by Gunderson and Ridol [3]). In one
study, history of suicide attempt was noted in over 70% of

ment. Written informed consent was obtained after participants
were given a complete description of the study. Participantswere assessed in multiple sessions by experienced masters-levelclinical raters using semistructured interviews and standard-ized self-rated and interviewer-rated measures. Axis I diagnoses
were made using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R(SCID; 14). DSM-IV criteria were used after that version was intro-duced. Axis II disorders were diagnosed using the International
Personality Disorders Examination, which has a lifetime timeframe (15), and borderline personality disorder was diagnosedusing the Diagnostic Interview for Borderline Patients (DIB; 16),
which has a 3-month to 2-year time frame for subsection scores.
The Diagnostic Interview for Borderline PatientsRevised (DIB-R)was added when that version became available (17), and it wasscored concurrently to preserve continuity with the longitudinalstudy. The DIB-R has a 2-year time frame. For inclusion in thestudy, participants met criteria for probable or denite bor-derline personality disorder on the International Personality Dis-orders Examination and denite on both versions of the DIB.Exclusion criteria included presence of schizophrenia, delusional(paranoid) disorder, schizoaffective disorder, any bipolar disor-der, psychotic depression, CNS pathology (e.g., organic mooddisorders and seizure disorder), drug or alcohol dependence,
physical disorders with known psychiatric consequences (e.g.,hypothyroidism), and borderline intellectual functioning (IQ

In the 6-year interval, 25 participants (27.8%) reported
medically signicant suicide attempts. The survival curve
(Figure 1) illustrates the fact that most suicidal behavior
occurred in the rst 2 years (24.8% of 133 participants at
2 years) (13). Selected bivariate comparisons between
groups are presented in Table 1. (Bivariate comparisons for
all variables in the study are presented in Tables S1S6 in
the data supplement that accompanies the online editionof this article.) Attempters differed from nonattempters in
having signicantly lower socioeconomic status, less edu-
cation, and poorer social adjustment at baseline (p

ing at year 6 was most signicant in the family, social, and
vocational subscales of the Social Adjustment Scale. Good
social support is a known protective factor against suicide,
buffering the adverse effects of negative life events, which
are prominent in the lives of patients with borderline per-
sonality disorder (31). Negative life events among patients
in the Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders
Study predicted suicidal behavior in the month duringand preceding the adverse events (32). Poor GAF scores
at baseline and poor family relationships were signicant
predictors of poor psychosocial outcomes among border-
line patients at the 2-year follow-up (33). Functional im-
pairment in social relationships changed little despite im-
provement in diagnostic criteria (34). The McLean Study
of Adult Development found that half of the subjects with
borderline personality disorder failed to achieve social
and vocational recovery at the 10-year follow-up despite
symptomatic remission of diagnostic criteria in 93% (35).
Vocational failure contributed most to poor psychosocial
functioning. Suicidal and self-injurious behaviors remit-
ted early in the course of the McLean study (35); however,
symptomatic improvement did not prevent poor psycho-
social outcome in the long term. If the majority of border-
line patients can expect symptomatic remission in time,
who dies by suicide?
The attempters in our study are characterized by low
socioeconomic status, low educational achievement, and
poor psychosocial adjustment. Across many studies, poor
psychosocial functioning is a predictor of suicidal behav-
ior independent of diagnoses (5) and a predictor of high-
lethality attempts and suicide completion in some, but not
all, studies of borderline personality disorder (9) as well
attempts were predicted by major depressive disorder, an
acute stressor. Thereafter, no acute clinical stressors pre-
dicted attempts. Both of these results may be attributable
to illness severity and inpatient recruitment for nearly half
of this sample. The frequency of repeat suicide attempts
in the year after hospitalization for an index attempt has
been reported at 17%, independent of diagnosis (29). The
Collaborative Longitudinal Personality Disorders Study,a prospective study including borderline personality dis-
order, found that 20.5% of treatment-seeking borderline
patients attempted suicide during the rst 2 years of the
study (30). Worsening of major depressive disorder pre-
dicted suicide attempt in the following month in that
studys pooled personality disorders sample. Suicide at-
tempt after hospitalization (and predicted by major de-
pressive disorder) strongly suggests persisting depression.
Similarly, illness severity, marked by psychiatric hospi-
talizations in the follow-up interval (but preceding any
attempt), was predictive of subsequent attempt through
the fourth year of follow-up. Notably, any outpatient treat-
ment in the 12-month interval was associated with lower
suicide risk, suggesting the successful treatment of ma-
jor depressive disorder or decreased illness severity. The
absence of outpatient treatment remained a predictor of
suicide risk in the 6-year follow-up. The most consistent
predictors of suicide attempt across all intervals were
measures of psychosocial and global functioning. Poor
psychosocial functioning predicted increased risk of sui-
cidal behavior at 12 months, 2 years, and 6 years, while a
high GAS score at baseline was protective at 4- and 6-year
intervals. By the sixth year, low socioeconomic status was
also a predictor of high risk. Poor psychosocial function-

To identify subjects who had increasing degrees of med-
ical lethality with recurrent attempts, we recently reported
a trajectory analysis of Lethality Rating Scale scores in bor-
derline patients who had three or more suicide attempts
(38). Two distinct patterns were identied: a low-lethality
group of subjects who had recurrent but minimally lethal
behaviors, and a high-lethality group who had increasingmedical lethality scores with recurrent attempts. Those
with the high-lethality trajectory were characterized by
inpatient recruitment (a severity marker) and poor psy-
chosocial functioning, while the low-lethality group had
more negativism, substance use disorders, and histrionic
or narcissistic comorbidity.
Our sample is still young (mean age=29 years) and early
in the trajectory of their suicidal behaviors. However, after
6 years of follow-up, we have observed that low socioeco-
nomic status, poor psychosocial adjustment, and absence
of outpatient treatment are predictors of suicidal behavior.
We suggest that these are characteristics of a poor progno-sis subtype. By follow-up at 4 and 6 years, a family history
of suicide is a prominent risk variable. This risk factor in-
cludes heritable biological traits that increase vulnerabil-
ity to suicidal behavior. The poor prognosis subtype may
include a biological diathesis to suicidal behavior.
We did not nd any predictive associations between
risk factors such as impulsivity or aggression, comorbidity
with antisocial personality disorder, history of childhood
maltreatment, and suicide attempts during the study in-
terval, although each of these factors has been associated
with suicidal behavior in borderline personality disorder
in cross-diagnostic studies, psychological autopsy studies,
as in nonclinical populations. Community members with
personality disorders who complete suicide have more
problems with relationships, jobs, unemployment, and
family compared with community members with no per-
sonality disorders who complete suicide (9). Community
subjects with borderline personality disorder have lower
educational and vocational achievement than subjectswith other personality disorders, and they are more likely
than other axis II patients to be receiving disability pay-
ments (36).
Recurrent suicidal behavior early in the course of bor-
derline personality disorder is often characterized by im-
pulsive, angry acts in response to acute stressors, such as
perceived rejection. These are communicative gestures
(i.e., impulsive behaviors with little lethal intent, objec-
tive planning, or medical consequences). Impulsivity in
borderline personality disorder is signicantly associated
with number of suicide attempts but not degree of medical
lethality (9). The McLean study found that manipulativesuicide efforts diminished with time, from 56.4% of sub-
jects at year 2 to 4.2% by year 10 (35). Completed suicide in
borderline personality disorder tends to occur after many
years of illness, failure to benet from treatment, loss of
supportive relationships, and social isolation. In their 27-
year naturalistic follow-up study, Paris and Zweig-Frank
(37) observed that borderline patients who completed
suicide had burned out their social supports and were
no longer involved in active treatment. The average age
at death was 37 years. This suggests that there may be a
high-lethality subgroup of borderline patients with poor
prognosis who are at greater risk over time.

or retrospective chart reviews of suicides (9). Impulsivity
is a diagnostic criterion for borderline personality disor-
der and is associated with number of suicide attempts but
not with medical lethality. The McLean study showed that
core symptoms of borderline personality disorder, includ-
ing impulsivity, diminish over a 10-year period (35). We
observed that such borderline symptoms had no predic-
tive value for suicidal behavior in the long term.A review of deaths occurring in this study suggests
that substance use disorders are a risk factor for prema-
ture death in patients with borderline personality disor-
der. Substance use disorders are common in this sample
(59.6%). Although the diagnosis does not distinguish at-
tempters (64%) from nonattempters (57.8%) or prospec-
tively predict suicide attempts, the mortality associated
with substance use disorders in our sample is a strong
argument for early diagnosis and intervention for this co-
morbid condition.
We identied only one denite death by suicide at 6
years. Suicide rates vary widely among prospective stud-ies, from 0.86% in the Collaborative Longitudinal Person-
ality Disorders Study at 7 years (39) to 4.1% in the McLean
study at 10 years (35). Recruitment source, which is related
to illness severity, and prospective study designs may in-
uence completion rates. Prospective studies rely on co-
operative participants who comply with repeated follow-
up interviews over many years. This design is required to
assess the predictive power of predened suicide risk fac-
tors; however, the resulting sample may exclude unstable
patients who are more likely to drop out of treatment and
complete suicide. With a mean age of 29 years, our sample
is still not in the age range of highest risk for suicide andmay experience further mortality in the years to come.
Our data suggest that outpatient treatment directed at
enhancing family, social, and vocational functioning de-
creases the likelihood of suicidal behavior in borderline
patients. However, our design does not permit inferences
on treatment effectiveness, which would require random
assignment to systematic treatments and comparison
with control conditions. In a naturalistic design, it is likely
that higher-functioning patients will choose to participate
in treatment (and get the most out of it), while lower-func-
tioning patients may not. This limits the interpretation of
treatment participation in our data. Current treatment
modalities for borderline personality disorder (e.g., dia-
lectical behavior therapy and pharmacotherapy) are fo-
cused on symptomatic relief. A psychiatric rehabilitation
model for borderline patients, emphasizing skills training
and family involvement, may be required to improve long-
term outcomes (40).
