Aplicación de técnicas de la terapia dialéctico conductual en un proceso de psicoterapia breve para la adquisición de habilidades de regulación de emociones, tolerancia al malestar y básicas de conciencia en un paciente con trastorno límite de la personalidad. Revisión de caso.

Abstract

People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) exhibit a characteristic clinical pattern, primarily marked by emotional dysregulation, a persistent sense of emptiness, suicidal behavior, self-harm, and disturbances in both intrapsychic and interpersonal relationships. These factors lead to a range of limitations in the expression of daily life activities.  Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been shown through various rigorous studies, including Cochrane reviews, to be effective by teaching a set of skills for implementation in daily life. In this regard, a brief DBT-based psychotherapy process was administered to a young adult with this disorder, resulting in improvements in anxiety and depressive symptoms, as well as reductions in hostility, suicide attempts, self-harm, hospitalizations, and the overall number of symptoms present.
