Materials and Methods: The present study was applied in terms of purpose and quasi-experimental in terms of pre-test-post-test and follow-up with the control group. The statistical population of this study included all women with borderline personality disorder who referred to counseling and psychotherapy centers in Tehran between January and March 2017. To identify borderline personality traits and to be placed in two groups of normal and borderline personality, people who get a score of 12 and above based on clinical psychology interview and borderline personality questionnaire enter the research. The sample was selected by available sampling method due to the limitation of sampling patients.

Data analysis was performed in descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (Mankova method and analysis of variance with repeated measures). Findings: The findings showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is effective on anxiety in people with borderline personality disorder. Conclusion: In general, based on the results of this study, it can be said that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be an effective treatment for personality disorders, especially borderline personality disorder.
