Thesis Topic: Examining the Interaction of Genetic and Environmental Factors on the Effect of Childhood Trauma on Personality Disorders.<\/p>\n

Hypothesis: Genetic predisposition and environmental factors interact in a way to make childhood trauma a significant risk factor for personality disorders, especially Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).<\/p>\n

Null Hypothesis: There is no meaningful connection between personality disorders and childhood trauma and that there is no interaction between genetic and environmental factors that could affect this relationship.<\/p>\n
