Abstract
Findings reviewed in this article show that CBT should be included in treatment guidelines for Personality disorders. CBT in particular has been found to be superior to control conditions, equally effective as other active psychological treatments, with treatment effects that are often maintained in the long run, conferring resistance to relapse. Moreover, CBT is as effective as pharmacotherapy in the acute treatment of mild to moderate Personality Disorders and, either as monotherapy or combined with medication, CBT is associated with better long-term outcome compared with pharmacotherapy alone Furthermore, CBT and PA have shown promise in treating patients with complex psychological disorders characterized by mood problems, often with comorbid personality problems.CBT is accepted by many PD patients as a viable and preferred treatment. Finally, although studies suggest that effects of long term CBT may be achieved somewhat slower compared with other forms of psychotherapy as well as medication in the acute treatment of Personality Disorders, it appears to be more clinically effective and perhaps more cost effective in the long run, particularly for chronically ill PD patients. As noted, these conclusions need to be interpreted within the context of important limitations. Compared with other treatments, the evidence base for CBT in Personality Disorders remains relatively small, despite a respectable research tradition supporting Cognitive assumptions with regard to the causation of PD. In this context, the growing evidence for the efficacy and effectiveness of long term CBT is promising. Overall, it is clear that the future of the treatment of PD may lie in a combined disorder- and person-centered, tailored-made approach, which takes into account, particularly in chronic PD, the broader interpersonal context and life history of the individual. It is clear that CBT have an important role to play in this respect.
