In-session reflective functioning in psychotherapies for borderline personality disorder: The emotion regulatory role of reflective functioning.
Overview
This study investigates whether therapist prompts encouraging patients to consider mental states reduce emotional arousal during psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder. The research analyzes video-recorded sessions from trials of transference-focused psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and supportive psychodynamic therapy. It reports that such prompts were more frequent in one treatment modality and correlated with improved reflective functioning and lower patient arousal.
