The study aimed to prepare a counseling program based on the dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and verify its effectiveness in reducing some symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) among a sample of undergraduate female students. The counseling program consisted of (24) group sessions, the duration of each session (90) minutes, so that the program took (12) weeks to implement on a very small sample of three female students at the University of Tabuk with borderline personality disorder. The study found a significant effect of the program in reducing some symptoms of borderline personality disorder (emotional instability, identity disorder, negative relationships with others, impulsivity and self-harm) and the total score of the scale, which indicated the effectiveness of the program. The results also showed the continued impact of the program to the follow up test. The above results were discussed in light of the previous studies. Recommendations and future researches were suggested. (Published abstract)
