10. Summary of project results:
Borderline personality disorder (BPH) is a globally prevalent mental illness that presents significant challenges for clinicians and has numerous consequences for individuals affected. In particular, individuals in sexual minority groups are more likely to be diagnosed with BPH than heterosexual individuals. This clinical study aimed to explore the effectiveness of CBT therapy for borderline personality disorder in lesbian women. The study subjects were young adult lesbian women experiencing difficulties with cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal relationships. The study details the assessment and psychological intervention process across 12 sessions. The results showed a clinically significant reduction in self-harming behaviors and suicidal ideation; simultaneously, the clients were provided with necessary skills such as emotional regulation and problem-solving, demonstrating a significant improvement in their ability to understand and regulate their emotional experiences.
11. Practical applications:This project provides empirical evidence demonstrating that CBT therapy is effective in improving symptoms of borderline personality disorder across various functional domains such as mood regulation, reduction of self-harming behaviors, and suicidal thoughts. Acknowledgment and acceptance strategies, along with interventions at the emotional and behavioral levels, are appropriate for application in this case.
12. Future research directions:
Based on this proposal, the author suggests several directions for further research, such as studying the effectiveness of psychological interventions for LGBT+ individuals with borderline personality disorder on a larger sample to better adapt the intervention process to the specific needs of sexual minority individuals with borderline personality disorder; examining the impact of minority stress on the development of this disorder in sexual minority individuals; and exploring protective and supportive factors for individuals with borderline personality disorder during therapy and recovery in sexual minority communities and other population groups.
