Effectiveness of Autobiographical Rewriting Workshops on the Socio-Professional Functioning of Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder Undergoing Third-Wave Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The change in the score on the Social Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ) will be assessed between pre-intervention and post-intervention immediately, and compared between the two groups. The SFQ measures social functioning over the past two weeks, with 16 items divided into 8 domains: professional activities, daily life tasks, leisure, family and couple relationships, extrafamily relationships, financial and administrative management, general health, and community life and information. For each domain, participants assess the frequency and satisfaction of their activities

The Thinking About Life Experiences (TALE) scale will be used to assess the frequency of autobiographical memory recall and its functions. Autobiographical memory is defined as a collection of information and memories unique to an individual, accumulated from early life, and enabling the construction of a sense of identity and continuity. The TALE consists of 15 items, divided into 3 dimensions (5 items per dimension), which measure different functions of autobiographical memories: Self-related function, social function, and directive function

The Borderline Symptom List (BSL23) will be used to evaluate the intensity of borderline symptoms. The scale includes 23 items designed to assess the severity of symptoms associated with borderline personality disorder. A higher score indicates more severe symptoms.

The Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCC) will be used to measure the degree to which beliefs about the self are perceived as clearly defined, consistent, and stable over time. The scale includes 12 items and is unidimensional. A higher score indicates greater clarity and stability of self-beliefs, while a lower score reflects more confusion and instability in self-concept

The Self-Defining Future Projections Scale (SDFP) will assess participants' future projections related to their self-concept. Participants are asked to write down three future projections defining the self and rate each projection on three dimensions: emotional valence (positive or negative), emotional intensity, and personal significance. The projections must meet six specific criteria (e.g., occurring within the next year, being plausible, and personally important).

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) will be used to measure self-esteem or self-confidence. This 10-item scale is unidimensional and assesses the overall positive or negative evaluation of the self. A higher score indicates higher self-esteem, while a lower score reflects lower self-esteem

The TOSCA-3 (Test of Self-Conscious Affect) will assess the propensity to experience shame. This self-report scale consists of 16 relational scenarios, each followed by different potential emotional reactions. Participants are asked to imagine themselves in the situation described in each scenario and rate how much each proposed reaction aligns with their own emotional response on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) from 1 ("Not at all in agreement with my reaction") to 5 ("Completely in agreement with my reaction").

The Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-8) is an 8-item scale used to evaluate identity disturbance. It measures how well individuals perceive their life experiences as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful, reflecting their sense of coherence and overall well-being. Higher score indicates greater coherence.

The Ontological Addiction Scale (OAS) is a 12-item scale designed to measure the excessive preoccupation with self (i.e., the concern to satisfy the incorrect idea we usually have of ourselves). A higher score indicates a greater preoccupation with one's self-representation, suggesting a stronger tendency to engage in self-referential thinking.
