Summary

Even though borderline personality disorder (BPD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) commonly co-occur, few studies have examined PTSD treatment among individuals with BPD. Additionally, many PTSD research studies exclude individuals with BPD due to their complexity and concerns regarding risk. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Cognitive-Processing Therapy Group (an evidenced-based treatment for PTSD) for individuals with these co-occurring disorders following completion of a Dialectical Behavioural Therapy Program (an evidenced-based treatment for BPD). The investigators are using a repeated measures pre and post design. Data will be collected prior to participants starting the CPT group, throughout the duration of the CPT group (i.e., weekly), and following the completion of the CPT group.
