Description
Children of mothers with borderline personality disorder face raised risks, and parenting support may break the chain. Kiana Cano and co-authors test whether one proven program fits these mothers. The program trains caregivers to mediate the world for their child: focusing attention, naming feelings, and building meaning. It had worked with other high-risk groups, untested here.
The team first measured need, comparing mothers with and without the disorder, then gathered lived experience through interviews. Focus groups and theatre testing adapted the program with mothers themselves. Differences in parenting measures were clear, and the mothers' own accounts shaped the redesign. The study reports what feasibility work should: the program is welcome, the fit is promising, and the needed changes are named.
