The first disorder-specific parenting training program for mothers with Borderline Personality Disorder (M-BPD) is evaluated in a randomized controlled trial. The training program is expected to have positive effects on parenting behavior, decrease the risk of maltreatment of the child, and improve emotion regulation in mothers at post treatment and at 6-month follow-up compared to a control group (treatment as usual; TAU). Additionally, disorder-specific aspects of dysfunctional parenting behavior as well as BPD-specific aspects of child maltreatment are compared to a clinical control group (mothers with anxiety and/or depression, M-AD/D) and a healthy control group (M-CON). To assess the differential development of parenting, the risk of maltreatment and emotion dysregulation in untreated M-BPD are compared to M-CON. The investigators expect the difference to increase over time, indicating a worsening in BPD parenting.

Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (Frick, 1991; German DEAPQ-EL-GS; Reichle \& Franiek, 2007). The questionnaire assesses several parenting strategies with 7 subscales (positive parenting, responsible parenting, parental Involvement, poor monitoring/supervision, inconsistent discipline, corporal punishment, powerful implementation). Range 6-30, with higher values indicating more of the respective parenting strategy

Change in child rearing competence
Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC, Gibeau- Wallston \& Wandersman, 1978; German FKE; Miller, 2001). The PSOC measures how parents perceive their child rearing competence. Range 0-96 with higher values indicating higher sense of competence.
day 0 (before treatment), week 12 (after treatment), month 9 (6 months after second assessment)
Change in parental stress
Parental Stress Index (PSI, Abidin, 1995; German EBI; Tröster, 2010). The PSI is a dimensional rating of parental stress. Range 48 - 240 with higher values indicating higher stress.
Change in emotion regulation
day 0 (before treatment), week 12 (after treatment), month 9 (6 months after second assessment)
Change in mental distress
day 0 (before treatment), week 12 (after treatment), month 9 (6 months after second assessment)
Change in borderline specific thoughts and feelings
day 0 (before treatment), week 12 (after treatment), month 9 (6 months after second assessment)
Negative intervention outcomes
week 12 (after treatment) (intervention group only)
client satisfaction
week 12 (after treatment) (intervention group only)
Participants (N=60) receive the weekly conducted intervention (group training for mothers with BPD) over the period of 12 weeks (12 sessions). Assessments of each participant: T0 (pre-intervention), T1 (post-intervention) and follow-up (6 months after T1).
Members of this group (N=60) receive no intervention but treatment as usual (TAU). After completing all assessment points (T0, T1, T2), they can receive the intervention of the intervention group (group training).
Mothers with anxiety and/or depression (N=60) receive no intervention. Assessment point only T0.
The group programme is designed to teach mothers with BPD parenting skills and to reduce dysfunctional parenting attitudes and strategies. The components are: childrens basics needs, mindfulness, stress and stress reduction, dealing with conflicts, dealing with emotions, dysfunctional attitudes, physical contact, parenting rules, self care.
