Evidence Psychotherapy Options for Borderline Personality Disorders María-José Martín-Vázquez<p>Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a prevalent and severe condition that affects emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and identity. BPD affects 1-2% of the population, mainly women, with high comorbidity, especially post-traumatic stress disorder, and a significant suicide rate. The diagnosis is based on ICD-11 and DSM-5 criteria with functional evaluation and specific traits. Various therapeutic models have shown efficacy in improving the quality of life and reducing self-destructive behaviours in these patients. The Evidence-Based Therapies are Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-based Therapy (MBT), Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP), and General Psychiatric Management (GPM), each with specific approaches and techniques for the treatment of BPD.</p><p>Therapies can be combined according to the clinical phase and patient needs, using sequential progressions, technical eclecticism, or synthesis, with a common focus on validation, empathy, and active therapeutic alliance. EMDR is used to treat associated childhood traumas and improve prognosis.</p> Archives of Depression and Anxiety - Peertechz Publications 2025-08-19 Review Article https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-5460.000100 en Copyright © María-José Martín-Vázquez et al.
