      Disorder: A Cluster-Analytic Study.

AB  - The goal of the present study was to establish profiles of patients with 
      borderline personality disorder (BPD) who dropped out early from an outpatient 
      psychotherapy program. From a sample of 56 BPD patients who dropped out after the 
      first of a three-year program, a TwoStep cluster analysis procedure was 
      performed, using the five factors of the Treatment Attrition-Retention Scale for 
      Personality Disorders (Gamache et al., J Pers Disord 1-21, 2017) and the Global 
      Assessment of Functioning score (Spitzer et al., Global Assessment of Functioning 
      [GAF] Scale. In Sederer LI, Dickey B [Eds], Outcomes assessment in clinical 
      practice [pp 76-78]. Baltimore, MD: Walter and Williams) as clustering variables. 
      Four clusters emerged: Higher-functioning, Narcissistic features/entitlement, 
      Pseudo-normality, and Highly dysfunctional. Differences between the clusters were 
      found on sex, occupational status, and presence of antisocial features. These 
      findings could help both identify BPD patients at potential risk of dropping out 
      of psychotherapy and adjust interventions accordingly to reduce premature 
      termination.
