< .000). Secondary outcome measures showed family functioning and well-being improved more in the immediate-treatment group; changes were maintained at follow-up. There were no differences in depression, total anxiety, and total burden; both groups showed improvement on all these measures.

Further studies are needed to show whether this reduction improves outcomes for the individual with BPD. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
