This study assesses the viability of the implementation and the effectiveness of an AAT program in patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and substance abuse disorder.
Our hypotheses are that participation in the TAA program will reduce negative symptoms, improve the quality of life of people with dual pathology, whose mental illness is schizophrenia, and increase adherence to treatment for people with dual pathology, whose mental disorder it's schizophrenia.
