What is the process-based transdiagnostic approach?
The process-based transdiagnostic approach is a contemporary model of psychological intervention that does not focus on diagnosis as the central axis, but rather on the specific psychological mechanisms that maintain distress — such as experiential avoidance, cognitive fusion, or deficits in emotional regulation. This approach allows for the flexible integration of therapies with the most empirical support (CBT, ACT, DBT) and adapts them to the specific individual, rather than following a standard protocol by diagnosis. In practice, this means that Javier can work effectively with individuals with different diagnoses but similar maintaining mechanisms, or with individuals who do not fit a clear diagnosis but do experience real distress.
Does Javier have specific experience with Borderline Personality Disorder?
Yes. Javier has participated in the design and development of specific intervention programs for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) — one of the most complex conditions in clinical psychology. BPD requires specialized training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, risk management, and relational skills, all of which are areas in which Javier has experience and advanced training, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — the first-line treatment for BPD.
