Summary
Previous work by the group convinced the researchers to pursue development of focused cognitive reappraisal training as a novel approach to treatment of BPD, either as stand-alone treatment or in concert with evidence-based treatments of BPD. The present proposal aims to refine and test a proposed clinical intervention for BPD patients, training in reappraisal-by-distancing, in terms of its ability to influence hypothesized neural and behavioral targets and, once that is established, to demonstrate its ability improve clinically relevant outcome measures.

Interventions
Reappraisal-by-distancing treatment. Patients meet 2 times a week for 6 weeks to learn reappraisal by distancing through repeated practice with negative emotional pictures. The therapist will help model and shape the technique.
Patients either meet 2x a week for 6- weeks to gain added practice, under the guidance of a therapist, using their customary emotion regulatory strategies to downregulate their negative reactions to aversive pictures.
