The case report highlights the effectiveness of CAT in addressing complex and entrenched issues and emphasises the use of the Sequential Diagrammatic Reformulation (SDR) and Multiple Self State model as key therapeutic tools. The findings demonstrate the benefits of longer treatment duration in CAT for individuals with features of BPD and underscore the importance of tailoring treatment to individual needs.
