A pre-treatment and post-treatment measurement of the severity of BPD symptoms, impulsivity, and aggressive behavior will be carried out in all participants using self-administered questionnaires. All participants will be asked to participate in a passing ball game (Cyberball) with the intention of investigating aspects related to social inclusion / exclusion and measurements will be made regarding planning using the maze test. Participation in the Cyberball and the assessment of the planning will be carried out before and after the application of the treatment protocol.
