La Eficacia de la Terapia Dialéctica Conductual en el Tratamiento del Trastorno Límite de la Personalidad en Adultos en general: Una Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This systematic review addresses Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), identified as a predominant problem during Practicum 4.1 in the clinical context with adults, due to its impact on functionality and the complexity of its therapeutic approach. Given this need, the study delves into effective psychological approaches, considering Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as the most suitable for adults with BPD. Furthermore, the studies included in the review demonstrate significant changes in BPD symptomatology, especially in emotional regulation, impulsivity, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, regardless of the duration of the therapeutic intervention program. Based on this evidence, a simulated clinical case was constructed for a woman diagnosed with BPD, encompassing background information, reason for consultation, psychological evaluation, and a proposed DBT therapeutic intervention tailored to her needs. Finally, this work made it possible to integrate professional practice, theory, and scientific evidence, promoting an evidence-based and well-founded approach for adults diagnosed with BPD.
