The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment-based therapy on emotional instability and self-injurious behaviors of people with borderline personality disorder and substance abuse. This research was a semi-experimental study with the pre-test-post-test method and a control group. the statistical population was all addicts living in three addiction treatment camps in Tabriz and Ahar in the spring of 2021. First, Milon's multi-axis questionnaire was administered and 30 people who had a score higher than 85 for borderline personality disorder were purposefully selected as the research sample and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The data collection tool was Milon's MCMI-III Multiaxial Questionnaire (Milon, 1987), SHI self-injurious behaviors questionnaire (Sanson et al., 1998), and EIS emotional instability scale (Malachich and Goldberg, 2007). The experimental group received two ACT therapy sessions in 8 sessions of 90 minutes each week. The results of the research showed that by controlling the effect of the pre-test, there was a significant difference between the post-test average of self-injurious behaviors (f=59.513, p=0.001) and emotional instability (f=78.122, p=0.001) in the two experimental groups. And there is evidence of a significant difference. Based on this, it can be concluded that treatment based on acceptance and commitment is effective in self-harming behaviors and emotional instability.

Borderline personality disorder is a disorder with a pervasive pattern of instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and emotions with impulsivity. This disorder is characterized by defects in the frontal activity circuits that play an important role in inhibiting and aggression regulation. The aim of this study is to design a neurofeedback protocol and investigate its effect on impulsivity, emotional instability and self-mutilation behavior in patients with borderline personality disorder. This study is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, follow up and control group design. The research sample consisted of 30 patients with borderline personality disorder that received a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder according to the diagnosis of a psychiatrist and a structured clinical interview based on DSM5. They were selected by available sampling and divided into experimental (neurofeedback training) and control groups randomly. The experimental group underwent 30 sessions of neurofeedback training and the control group was placed on a waiting list.

After the last treatment session, both groups were re-evaluated. To collect the data, The Borderline Personality Disorder Scale (STB), Barat Impulsivity Questionnaire (1957 Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz and Roemer ,2004), and the Self-injury Scale (Swanson et al., 1998) were used. Three months after the study, the subjects were followed up again . The results showed that after controlling the effect of pretest, neurofeedback training had a significant effect on reducing the impulsivity, emotional instability and its components, as well as self-mutilation behavior in the experimental group compared to the control group(p<0/001(. With regard these results, we can say that the neurofeedback training method is an effective way to reduce the impulsivity, emotion dysregulation, and self-mutilation behavior in the treatment centers.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of emotionally focused therapy (eft) on nightmares and emotional instability in people with borderline personality disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group. The statistical population of the research was all patients with borderline personality disorder who were referred to a neuropsychiatric clinic in Yazd in 1401. Among them, 40 qualified volunteers were included in the study by Purposive sampling based on the entry and exit criteria of the research and then the people were randomly replaced into two experimental (20 people) and control (20 people) groups. The experimental group received 12 sessions of emotionally focused therapy, while the control group remained on the waiting list. The research tools included Schizotypal Trait questionnaire-Bform(STB) (Jackson & Claridge, 1991), Disturbing Dreams and Nightmares Severity Index (DDNSI) (Krakow, 2002), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) (Gratz & Roemer, 2004). The results of multivariate covariance analysis showed that after controlling for the pre-test effect, there is a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups in the variables of nightmares and emotional instability in the post-test stage (P <0.001, F=53). based on the findings of this research, it is concluded that emotionally focused therapy is effective in improving nightmares and emotional instability of people with a borderline personality disorder.

The aim of this study is Comparison of the Effectiveness of neurofeedback and cognitive rehabilitation on impulsivity, emotional instability and self-mutilation behavior in patient with borderline personality disorder. The design of the present study was a quasi experimental design of pretest-posttest design with control group with quarterly follow-up. The statistical population of the present study was all patients of Zareh Psychiatric and Burn Hospital in Sari and psychiatric offices in Sari in 1399, who received a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder based on the psychiatrist diagnosis and clinical interview based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(fifth version). 45 patients were selected using available sampling method and randomly substituted in three groups(two experimental groups of neurofeedback training and cognitive rehabilitation and control group). The data collection tools were Impulsivity Questionnaire Barat Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Gratz and Roemer ,and Self-injury Scale Swanson et al. Data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (Mancova) and analysis of variance by repeated measures. The Findings showed that there is a significant difference between neurofeedback group and cognitive rehabilitation in reducing motor impulsivity from impulsivity components and lack of emotional clarity from emotional instability components(p=0/000). But there is no significant difference between neurofeedback group and cognitive rehabilitation in reducing other components and self- mutilation(p>0/05). According to the findings, it can be said that neurofeedback during different sessions develops the brain to function with appropriate patterns, and rehabilitation exercises help the brain to show these changes in behavior.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship of emotional instability, pro-social behavior and aggression with addiction readiness of secondary High school boy students. This study was a descriptive retrospective one with correlational design. The statistical population consisted of all secondary high school boy students (N=3000) in Quemshahr, out of which 382 students were selected by a random multi-stage cluster sampling, and were asked to fill in emotional instability (Barbareny et.al), pro-social behavior (Kaprar et.al) and aggression (bass and perry), readiness to addiction (Zargar et.al) questionnaires. The data were analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression. Findings: The results showed that all of predictor variables have a significant role in readiness to addiction (P <0.001). Further, results of multiple regression showed the predictor variables jointly are able to explain the variance of readiness to addiction significantly, so that. The pro-social behavior with the higher amount of Beta (β=0.67) also was the best predictor of readiness to addiction. based on the results, the improvement of prosocial behavior, and reduction of emotional instability and aggression seem necessary.
