TI  - Outcomes of poorly functioning patients with personality disorders in a day 
      treatment program.
PG  - 1462-7
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Rates of completion, complications, and outcome were examined in a 
      sample of poorly functioning patients who participated in a group-oriented day 
      treatment program for patients with personality disorders. METHODS: The study was 
      a naturalistic prospective study of 183 patients admitted to a day treatment 
      program in Oslo, Norway. The program consists of a combination of group 
      analytically oriented groups and cognitive-behavioral groups. The Global Severity 
      Index (GSI) of the Symptom Check List, the circumplex version of the Inventory of 
      Interpersonal Problems (IIP-C), and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) 
      were administered at admission and discharge. RESULTS: A total of 138 [corrected] 
      patients (77 percent) completed the day treatment program. Few patients 
      experienced treatment complications. Effect sizes for GAF, GSI, and IIP-C scores 
      for treatment completers were in the medium-to-high range, indicating a fair 
      level of improvement. Patients' rating of benefit was positive. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      results are promising as a first step toward development of a cost-efficient 
      comprehensive long-term treatment program for patients with severe personality 
      disorders.
