TI  - [Effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy for patients with borderline 
      personality disorder in the long-term course--a 30-month-follow-up after 
      inpatient treatment].
PG  - 161-9
AB  - BACKGROUND: The beneficial effects of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for 
      patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are well established. 
      However, it is not well known whether this type of treatment relieves symptoms 
      and signs of BPD in the long-term course thereafter and whether the results of 
      DBT are transferable for patients with high comorbidity. METHODS: We conducted a 
      follow-up examination of 50 consecutive inpatients with BPD as defined by DSM-IV. 
      The patients were examined at admission, at discharge and 15 and 30 months after 
      discharge. For the clinical diagnosis and to survey psychopathology we used the 
      Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID), the Global Assessment of 
      Functioning (GAF) and several self-rating-instruments. RESULTS: Compared to 
      admission 30 months after discharge we observed the following results: A 
      significant number of patients did not meet the DSM-IV criteria for BPD anymore, 
      comorbidity (particularly mood disorders, drug or alcohol abuse/dependence and 
      eating disorders) was reduced, psychosocial functioning was improved and general 
      and BPD-typical symptoms were relieved. CONCLUSION: Our findings support the 
      efficacy of DBT in an inpatient setting and show that the achieved success of 
      therapy is stable for a prolonged period of time. Patients with high comorbidity 
      seem to profit from DBT as well.
