ABOUT THE VIDEO

In Cognitive Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder, Dr. Mary Anne Layden demonstrates her approach to working with clients with this diagnosis. This therapy focuses on helping the client to substitute the unsuccessful compensatory strategies associated with this disorder with effective life skills. Therapy with clients with borderline personality disorder can be difficult, as the disorder generally involves deep mistrust of other people.

In this session, Dr. Layden works with a 40-year-old woman who reveals some potentially suicidal and homicidal thoughts. Through role-playing, Dr. Layden helps her client to learn skills for expressing her anger appropriately.

This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.

Read about precipitating events, stimulus questions, and notes on preceding sessions with the client

ABOUT THE APPROACH

Cognitive therapy focuses on transforming three types of cognitions—automatic thoughts, underlying assumptions, and maladaptive schema—and on replacing unsuccessful compensatory strategies with effective life skills. For individuals with borderline personality disorder, the schema level of cognition is the most significant, because these patients usually have deeply held and encompassing trauma-related beliefs that they are defective, unlovable, dependent, incompetent, and entitled and that the world is hostile, untrustworthy, and emotionally depriving. These schema are represented by words and images, may be stored in sensory as well as kinesthetic modes, and evoke extremely painful affective responses.
