Preschooler Emotion Regulation in the Context of Maternal Borderline Personality Disorder
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills for Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotional Problem. Completed, enrolled 93 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Offspring of mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) are at serious risk for developing mental illness at every stage of their life, and yet little is known about how this risk is transmitted. This study will leverage Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills as an experimental intervention to determine if preschool emotion regulation develops more rapidly as a result of improvements in mothers' ability to regulate her own emotions. The knowledge from this study will identify a modifiable pathway by which maternal BPD places offspring at risk for later mental disorders and will quantify how much improvement in children's ability to regulate their emotions can be achieved by treating mothers alone.
