Abstract
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by self‐regulation deficits, including impulsivity and affective lability. Transference‐focused psychotherapy (TFP) is an evidence‐based treatment proven to reduce symptoms across multiple cognitive–emotional domains in BPD. This pilot study aimed to investigate neural activation associated with, and predictive of, clinical improvement in emotional and behavioral regulation in BPD following TFP.
