Summary

This study tests whether group schema therapy, which uses self-recorded videos as part of treatment, can help teens with borderline symptoms. 64 participants will be randomly assigned to either the therapy or usual care. The therapy includes 30 group sessions, 8 individual sessions, and separate sessions for parents. The goal is to see if this approach reduces borderline symptoms and improves mental health.
