Resumen

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by affective instability, high reactivity, impulsivity and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. This often brings treatment problems that lead to premature abandonment of consultants compared to other diagnoses. Currently, there are evidence-based therapies for BPD that have a manual character and focus their structure on a constant framework to be able to deal with problems that threaten therapy, avoid dropouts and clinical relapses. With the intention of maintaining an integrative position, it is possible to have strategies from three of the therapies that have been collecting the most scientific evidence to avoid these problems: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT).
