Abstract
Aim and Background: High prevalence of borderline personality disorder and its harmful social, health and economic consequences highlights the importance of studying this disorder and its underlying factors. The present study aimed to investigating behavioral-brain systems of individuals with borderline disorder and its discriminative aspects of these systems in patients and healthy controls. Methods and Materials: Thus 30 patients who admitted to Razi Hospital (Tabriz, Iran), completed the behavioral inhibition system (BIS), behavioral activation system (BAS) questionnaire by Carver and White (BIS/BAS scales). Control group consisted of 30 subjects without any mental disorder history. Findings: Results from multi-variant regression analysis showed that the two groups had statistically significant differences in BAS, BIS and sensation seeking scale (P < 0.01). Among these factors, sensation seeking scale with Wilks’ lambda = 0.42 and BAS with Wilks’ lambda = 0.53 had statistically significant role in discrimination between the two groups. Conclusions: Hyperactivity of BIS caused a permanent anxiety and negative emotions experienced by borderline patients and hyperactivity of BAS could be the underlying reason of impulsivity, which is the core component of borderline personality disorder. According to other studies in the field of bio-neural factors effects in development of borderline personality disorder, this study can help to improve our understanding of disorder and therefore help to improve developing accurate methods to predict the possibility of disorder. In addition, it will help us to develop methods for primary prevention and developing more effective therapy methods.

Abstract
Aim and Background: Emotion dysregulation, as one of the main symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD), has significant effects on emotional perception in this group of patients. Given the importance of facial affect recognition in social interactions and contradictory results of researches that have evaluated the emotion recognition of patients with BPD in the past, the aim of the present study was to investigate emotion recognition in individuals with borderline personality symptoms and the relationship between these symptoms and interpersonal interactions in these individuals. Methods and Materials: The study subjects included 30 people; 15 with the symptom of BPD and 15 healthy subjects as control group. Subjects were selected from among the related statistical population through convenience sampling. The Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI) and Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) were completed and facial affect recognition task was conducted on the two groups. Findings: The findings of this study suggest that people with BPD symptoms have poor performance in facial affect recognition compared to their healthy counterparts (F = 1.5, P < 0.001). On the other hand, the results indicate that these subjects do not have defects in the recognition of all negative emotions, but are specifically defective in the recognition of disgust (F = 2.5, P < 0.010) and anger (F = 4.05, P < 0.020). Furthermore, they showed more interpersonal problems than the control group (F = 0.01, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Deficits in facial affect recognition may underlie interpersonal problems in people with the symptoms of BPD. Therefore, paying attention to emotion recognition as an effective factor in social interactions can help us better understand underlying factors of social dysfunction in patients with BPD.

The study participants were 12 specialists with experience in psychological family therapy. The subjects were selected through purposive homogeneous sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The gathered data were analyzed using thematic method in 3 steps of description, reduction, and analysis. Findings: From the 533 sentences related to interactional pathologies extracted from specialists’ interviews, 133 concepts related to interactional pathology were extracted in open coding. They were summarized into 16 subthemes in axial coding. These subthemes were summarized into the 4 themes of personal pathology effective on couples’ life, social interpersonal communication pathologies, couple interpersonal pathologies, and family interpersonal pathologies. Conclusions: It can be concluded that the presence of women with borderline personality disorder exposes their family to damages that increase the probability of family disintegration.

Abstract
Aim and Background: The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation skills training based on Gross and Linehan models on emotion regulation strategies in adolescents with borderline personality disorder. Methods and Materials: This was a quasi-experiment study with pretest/posttest method and control group. The study population included all the adolescents with borderline personality disorder referred to counseling centers, psychiatrists, and psychiatric services, as well as suicide emergency centers in Tehran City, Iran, in the year 2017. 45 patients were selected using random sampling method, and were randomly divided into two experimental groups and one control group (n = 15). Both experimental groups were under treatment within 8 sessions, 2 sessions of 90 minutes weekly, while the control group received no treatment. The research tool included Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), which was conducted in pretest and posttest assessments. Findings: Linehan model had significant effects on all emotion regulation strategies in posttest survey. Gross model had significant effects on some of emotion regulation strategies such as acceptance, positive refocusing, refocus on planning, positive reappraisal, putting into perspective, catastrophizing, other-blame, except self-blame, and rumination in posttest assessment. Conclusions: Due to common components of treatment, both models of emotion regulation skills training were effective on emotion regulation strategies. Overall, the results indicated Linehan model to be more effective on emotion regulation strategies (reduction of less adaptive strategies). Therefore, it can be used to improve emotion regulation strategies.

Abstract
Aim and Background: One of the principal formulations of borderline personality disorder is based on object relations theory and cognitive schemas. The role of cognitive schemas and object relations in personality disorders has been of interest among the researchers and therapists. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between object relations and early maladaptive schemas with borderline personality syndrome among the students of Semnan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Methods and Materials: This was a descriptive correlational research. The statistical population included all the students of Semnan University of Medical Sciences. From them, 310 university students were selected via convenience sampling method. Bell Object Relations Inventory (BORI), Young Schema Questionnaire-Short form (SYQ-SF), and the Claridge and Broks Borderline Personality Questionnaire were administered among the selected sample. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and Stepwise regression analysis. Findings: There was a significant relationship between object relations and early maladaptive schemas with borderline personality syndrome among the studied students. Regression analysis indicated that among the components of object relations, egocentrism and social incompetence in total explained 23% of the variance of borderline personality syndrome; and among the components of early maladaptive schemas, abandonment, incompetence, defectiveness/shame, self-sacrifice, and emotional inhibition in total explained 36% of the variance of borderline personality syndrome. Conclusions: According to the findings of the research, it can be said that object relations and maladaptive schemas play an important role in the prediction of borderline syndrome; and it seems necessary to consider them for the prevention and treatment of borderline personality.

Abstract
Aim and Background: This research aimed to compare the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive analytical therapy in reducing the psychological symptoms of people with borderline personality disorder.
Methods and Materials: This research is applied research based on the goal. Based on the collection and type of data, it was quantitative and cross-sectional in terms of time. In addition, it was a semi-experimental research design in the form of pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical sample of the research was 45 people in a non-random way. They were chosen voluntarily. Multivariate covariance analysis was used in quantitative data and SPSS version 26 statistical program was used.
Findings: The research findings indicated that the scores for Borderline Personality Inventory (BPI) and Self-Harm Thoughts and Behaviors (STB) were higher for individuals who underwent Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) compared to those who underwent Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that the Cognitive Analytic approach is more effective than Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Overall, it can be concluded that Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapy, by improving interpersonal relationships, emotional regulation, and self-concept in individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder, helps in reducing impulsive, unplanned, and thoughtless behaviors through a proper patient-therapist relationship, thereby improving the social functioning of these patients.
