Introduction: The Purpose of the research was to compare the neuropsychological deficits in individuals with borderline and narcissistic personality disorder symptoms and normal individuals. Method: The research design was causal-comparative. The sample of the study included 24 individual with borderline personality disorder symptoms and 22 individual with narcissistic personality disorder symptoms who through purposeful method were selected through patients who had referred to the Psychiatry clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital and the Payvand counseling clinic in Songhor and were compared with 22 normal individual from the hospital and counseling center personnel. The dot-probe task, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Digit Span Task, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, go/ no go test and Reading the Mind in the Eyes tests were used to collect data. Data were analyzed via using multivariate analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc test. Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the groups in the dependent variables. This means that individual with borderline and narcissistic personality disorder symptoms demonstrated more attention bias and impulsivity and impairment in theory of mind and executive functions compared to normal group. These deficits (except for working memory) were higher in individual with borderline personality disorder compared to individual with narcissistic personality syndrome. Conclusion: Neuropsychological deficits in individuals with borderline and narcissistic personality disorder symptoms are more than normal individuals. Although, these deficits in individuals with borderline are more than individuals with narcissistic personality disorder symptoms.

Method: This study is a descriptive comparative study thorough which the executive and functions Theory of Mind ability have been compared among three groups. The statistical population consists of all outpatient and inpatient patients affected with chronic schizophrenia and Borderline personality disorder who had referred to the Psychiatry Clinic of Imam Hossein Hospital in Tehran in 1397. The participants were selected through convenience sampling 74 patients were selected. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test were administered to all subjects in individual sessions and finally, data were analyzed via using Multivariate Analysis Test and Tukey Follow-up Tests. Findings: Results indicated that there is generally a significant difference(p≤ 0.01) between the group’s Borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia disorders with normal people in executive functions and Theory of Mind ability and also significant difference(p≤ 0.05) between the group’s Borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia disorders in sub scale executive functions and Theory of Mind ability and Schizophrenic patients are weaker than those with borderline personality disorder.

Introduction:Many studies have shown that borderline personality disorder is related to the neuropsychological deficits and there is also evidence that neurocognitive profile of patients with borderline personality disorder can be related to the consequences of this disorder. This study aimed to Examining the efficacy treatment of Computer-based Neurocognitive in people with borderline personality disorder. Method: this study's design was pre experimental with pretest- posttest. Studied population consisted of all patient with borderline personality disorder who were visited in clinics and health centers in Tehran. The sample included 30 patients who met the Diagnostic Interview for Borderline Personality Disorder—Revised version (DIB-R) criteria in the 4 scale affective dysregulation, impulse action patterns, cognitive– perceptual impairment and interpersonal relationship disturbance for borderline personality disorder. Patients were randomly assigned in experimental and control groups ( 15 patients in experimental group and 15 patient in control group), then therapeutic interventions were made. Subjects were also assessed by clinical, neuropsychological and functional measures in baseline and after 32 meet of the 16Weeks of computer-assisted cognitive remediation (experimental group) intervention or treatment as usual (control group) which were made twice a week. Findings: Covariance analysis results demonstrated that patients who received CACR showed greater improvement in working memory and psychosocial functioning results than patients treated with TAU, but symptom severity didn't have significant difference. Conclusion: Findings of this study showed the feasibility and potential the efficacy treatment of Computer-based Neurocognitive domains, suggesting a relatively limited clinical usefulness of the treatment of Computer-based Neurocognitive in the treatment of the borderline personality disorder.

Introduction: Borderline personality disorder is one of the most common psychiatric disorders. The essential feature of borderline personality disorder is a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity that begins by early adulthood and is present in a variety of contexts. However, there is evidence that neuropsychological alterations has a relevant role in the clinical features of these patients. This study aimed to investigation of neuropsychological dysfunctions and theory of mind deficiency in subjects with borderline personality disorder traits. Methods: In this regard, 30 college student with Borderline personality traits and 30 normal college students were chosen by borderline personality inventory (BPI), ), and then participants were evaluated with Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11, Corsi Blocks Test, Balloon Analogue Risk Task and Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test. Findings: Data were analyzed using Multivariate analysis of variance(MANOVA). The results showed that there are significant difference between subjects with borderline personality disorder traits and normal subjects in cognitive flexibility, impulsivity and visuospatial working memory and theory of mind(pConclusion: Therefore, the results of this study indicated thatcollege students with borderline personality traits exhibited deficits in cognitive flexibility, impulsivity, visuospatial working memory and theory of mind.
