A brief mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) programme was tested in a small pilot study with individuals who have borderline personality disorder (BPD) and engage in non-suicidal self-injury. After the programme, participants showed reductions in self-injury frequency and improvements in related psychological symptoms. The findings suggest that a shorter MBCT intervention may be feasible and helpful for this population, but the uncontrolled pre-post design limits causal conclusions.
