      review of randomized controlled trials.

AB  - The research evidence for Short-Term Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (STPP) in the 
      treatment of personality disorders (PD) was examined through consideration of 
      studies utilizing randomized controlled designs. An extensive literature search 
      revealed eight published Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) of moderate study 
      quality. A critical review of this literature is offered to provide an 
      evidence-based guidance for clinicians and implications for treatments are 
      discussed. Preliminary conclusions suggest STPP may be considered an efficacious 
      empirically-supported treatment option for a range of PDs, producing significant 
      and medium to long-term improvements for a large percentage of patients. Further 
      research is recommended to allow comparisons with alternative evidence-based 
      approaches.
