This study examines the relationship between psychiatrists' fear of death and negative emotions toward patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). A survey (N=120) demonstrated that fear of death is associated with stronger negative attitudes toward BPD patients, after controlling for attitudes toward suicide. Our findings emphasize the importance of psychiatrists' awareness to their fear of death as a relevant factor for their emotions toward BPD patients.
