What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a dimensional adaptation of Good Psychiatric Management (GPM-extended) compared to classic GPM in treating adults with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The GPM-extended model incorporates elements from adaptations for narcissistic and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders, providing a personalized treatment approach. Researchers will evaluate changes in BPD symptom severity and related clinical outcomes over one year of treatment by comparing two patient groups: those receiving GPM-extended and those receiving classic GPM.
