This paper discusses the function of emotion, its importance in the treatment of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and the integration of emotion-focused therapy (EFT) principles in the psychotherapeutic management of patients with BPD. EFT principles involve emotional assessment; a strong therapeutic alliance as a necessary context for treatment; the therapeutic relationship as a bond that regulates affect through empathy, emotional validation, and interpersonal soothing; emotion-regulation; psychoeducation about emotional processes; the therapist as an emotional coach; and transforming emotion schemes as primary mechanisms of change. The authors discuss how EFT principles can be viewed as primary intervention strategies in the treatment of patients with BPD and how they can be incorporated into various psychotherapy approaches. Based on our experience, the integration of EFT principles into the therapy of patients with BPD shows promise as it has been helpful in targeting BPD symptoms, and is feasible and acceptable to patients.
本文讨论了情感的功能、其在边缘型人格障碍（BPD）个体治疗中的重要性，以及以情感为中心的疗法（EFT）原则在BPD患者心理治疗管理中的整合。EFT原则包括情感评估；作为治疗必要背景的强大治疗联盟；作为通过同理心、情感确认和人际安抚来调节情感的纽带的治疗关系；情感调节；关于情感过程的心理教育；作为情感教练的治疗师；以及将情感模式转变作为主要的改变机制。作者们讨论了EFT原则如何可被视为治疗BPD患者的主要干预策略，以及它们如何可被纳入各种心理治疗方法。基于我们的经验，将EFT原则整合到BPD患者的治疗中显示出前景，因为它有助于针对BPD症状，并且对患者来说是可行且可接受的。
