Studying who benefits in a specific borderline personality therapy program
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at which factors predict how people do over time and how well they respond to a therapy program for borderline personality disorder. If you have a history of repeated self-harm, your experiences may help researchers understand who is most likely to improve—and why.
