Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (5th Edition; DSM-5) diagnosis of borderline personality disorder;
2. willing to maintain a stable dose on prescribed psychotropic medication throughout the study duration. This avoids problems with reluctance to discontinue or difficulty with discontinuing, and also the confounding of outcomes from initiation of medication during treatment; this procedure is a longstanding practice at the Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders (CARD) at Boston University for treatment outcome research. Additionally, participants must be
3. fluent in English.
Exclusion Criteria:
In order to maximize generalizability, exclusion criteria are based solely on the well-being of the participant and will consist primarily of conditions that would require prioritization for immediate treatment (e.g., severe suicidality or substance dependence). These include:

2. Clear and current suicidal risk (intent);
