Abstract Abstract: Borderline personality disorder is a severe mental illness and this is the result of biological and social predispositions. The core symptoms of Borderline personality disorder are inability to maintain interpersonal relationship, poor self-image, affective instability and reckless behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based intervention and is widely regarded as the gold-standard treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder. Despite its effectiveness, relapse to baseline levels of functioning is common in BPD. Owing to the paucity of case studies with long-term follow-up, the present study aims to examine and sustain the long-term therapeutic gains achieved through DBT. In view of the robust empirical support for DBT, the present study implemented DBT with a 21-year-old unmarried female presenting with symptoms of low mood, irritability, self-harm, aggressive behavior, interpersonal conflicts, reduced appetite, and disturbed sleep. The intervention comprised 17 weekly DBT sessions. Outcome measures included the Borderline Symptom List-23 (BSL-23), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). Post-intervention findings demonstrated a marked reduction in borderline symptom severity, as well as significant improvement in depressive and anxiety symptoms.
