Alteraciones cognitivo conductuales y trastorno límite de personalidad

Abstract

The case of a patient with borderline personality disorder with anger control problems is presented, in which the diagnosis based on the DSM-V criteria was complemented with the exploration of cognitive, behavioral and affective alterations through an interview and with the 16 factor personality test. The patient responded favorably to a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapeutic program with Jeffrey Young schema therapy and mindfulness.
