Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
Personality disorder status as measured bij the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Personality Disorders (SCID-5-P). Primary process outcome will be level of personality functioning, as measured by the Level of Personality Functioning Scale - Brief Form 2.0 ( LPFS-BF 2.0)
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Patients with a higher level of personality functioning are expected to have had less traumatic experiences and fewer attachment problems compared to patients with lower levels of personality functioning. This may also influence the extent to which basic needs have been met. This in turn leads them to have stronger healthy modes, and less strong maladaptive modes. It is hypothesized that in a primary health care population, a more condensed form of schema therapy (ST) might be sufficient for an effective reduction of personality problems.This study will investigate whether short-term, manualized group ST was associated with changes in personality pathology, a reduction in personality disorder (PD) severity (and an increase in level of functioning), general symptoms and schema and mode severity. A non-concurrent multiple baseline case study design is being used. By measuring change in experienced symptoms over time, we will be investigating whether there is a causal relation between intervention and treatment outcome.
Doel van het onderzoek
It is hypothesized that in a primary health care population, a more condensed form of schema therapy (ST) might be sufficient for an effective reduction of personality problems.
Onderzoeksopzet
Phase 1 Baseline 4-10 weeks
Phase 2 Active intervention: Re-focus: 16 weeks
Phase 3 Posttreatment: 4 weeks
Phase 4 Follow up: 3 months after treatment has ended.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
The treatment is a short-term, manualized form of group ST for treating patients with a personality disorder and higher level of personality functioning. It is a closed therapy group consisting of sixteen, 150-min weekly sessions. The focus will be on decreasing the impact of early maladaptive schemas and replacing negative coping responses and schema modes with healthier ones, through experiential and cognitive strategies.
