Forgiveness in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder: A Quasi‐Experimental Study
Overview
This quasi-experimental pilot study evaluated a manualized group forgiveness module integrated into dialectical behavior therapy for adults with borderline personality disorder. The research measured changes in forgiveness, attachment insecurity, and psychiatric symptoms across four time points, finding that participants experienced increased forgiveness and decreased symptoms during the module, which were maintained at a six-week follow-up. The findings suggest that reductions in anxious attachment mediated the relationship between forgiveness improvements and symptom reduction.
