Individuals with BED often experience negative emotional states such as self-blame and mental rumination, which can exacerbate their binge-eating behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment approach that focuses on developing skills to manage emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and regulate behaviors and in this population has not been studied.
Aims: The aim of the present study was investigate of the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy on self-blame and mental rumination of patients with binge-eating disorder.

The statistical population include all obese and overweight women aged 18 to 45 suffering from overeating in Karaj, who had regular visits to Overeaters Anonymous Association in Karaj between July 2022 and May 2023. A convenience method was used to select the sample (n=40) from among the statistical population, who volunteered to participate in the intervention and met the inclustion criteria. The subjects were assigned equally in two experimental (20 patients) and one wait-list control (20 patients). After the pretest, the subjects of the experimental group received the dialectical behavior therapy intevention in 2-hour weekly sessions for 9 sessions. Then the posttest stage and three months later follow-up was carried out. The tools used in this research were the levels of self-criticism scale (Thompson & Zuroff, 2004), the mental rumination (Nolen-Hoeksema and Maro, 1991) and the overeating questionnaire (Gormali et al., 1982). The data obtained from this research were analyzed using SPSS-27 software using mixed ANOVA.
Results: The results showed that dialectical behavior therapy has a significant effect in reducing self-blame and mental rumination in binge eating patients and this effect has been stable after three months.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this study adds to the evidence supporting Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for treating binge-eating disorder. It shows that DBT reduces self-blame and mental rumination, and these improvements last at least three months. DBT's focus on addressing cognitive distortions and improving emotion regulation skills offers hope for long-term recovery.

Abstract

Background: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and vulnerable narcissism, although distinct constructs, are interconnected. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) can play an effective role in addressing these aspects. However, there is a clear research gap due to the lack of studies directly examining the effects of DBT and MBSR on vulnerable narcissism symptoms in individuals with BPD, and no comparative studies have been conducted to date.
Aims: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of DBT and MBSR on symptoms of vulnerable narcissism in individuals with BPD.
Methods: The present study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, control group, and a three-month follow-up period. The statistical population consisted of all women with BPD who sought treatment at a therapeutic clinic in Rasht, Iran, in 2024. A total of 45 individuals were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to three groups of 15 participants (two intervention groups and one control group). The experimental groups underwent 8 sessions of MBSR (Kabat-Zinn, 2009) and 10 sessions of DBT (Linehan, 1993). Data were collected using the Pathological Narcissism Inventory (Pincus et al., 2009) and analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA with SPSS version 26.
Results: The results revealed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, as well as follow-up scores for narcissism (P< 0.05). While there was no significant difference between the two treatments over time, both treatments demonstrated significant improvements in narcissism compared to the control group (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, DBT and MBSR are two effective therapeutic approaches for improving narcissism symptoms in individuals with BPD. These results can aid clinical psychologists in designing more.
