A significant number of the symptoms of borderline personality disorder appear in the interpersonal context, specifically, as difficulties in social cognition. The purpose of this study is to analyse social cognition in women with borderline personality disorder, in comparison to a control group, and to study the relationship with associated psychopathology and child abuse.

Conclusions: Poorer social cognition performance by women with borderline personality disorder when compared to the control gro
