Outcome measures
Primary outcome
semi-structured interview: Borderline Pesonality Disorder Severity Index-IVth
edition (BPDSI-IV). Measurements take place pre-treatment and during therapy
every six months until 6 months post treatment of group therapy.
Secondary outcome
Self report questionnaires assessing quality of life (EuroQol and WhoQol),
general psychopathologic dysfunction (SCL90), and specific SFT-concepts (Young
Schema Questionnaire and Schema Modi Inventory-Revised).
Background summary
The present study is a continuation of a previous study on the effectivity of
outpatient treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) by means of
Schema Focused Therapy (SFT) as presented by Giesen-Bloo (2006). In this study
SFT proved to be effective in reducing borderline personality disorder-specific
and general psychopathologic dysfunctioning and in improving quality of life.
Due to long duration of the therapy, treatment is costly and waitinglists are
long. Because of these reasons SFT has been implemented in group therapy in
several institutions for mental health care in the Netherlands. As far as we
know, the effectivity of this group-SFT has not been studied so far.
Study objective
To compare the effectivity of individual SFT as described by Giesen-Bloo et al
(2006) versus group SFT in patients with borderline personality disorder in an
outpatient setting.
Study design
Design: A pilotstudy about treatment effectivity: two group design in which
historical data of the individual SFT are being compared with the data from the
group-SFT (to be collected in the future years).
Intervention
Patients receive one group session and one individual session on a weekly basis
(the individual sessions are continued as long as nessary to facilitate group
sessions, these will be phased out as soon as possible) , over a period of two
years.
In both sessions (group as well as individual) schema focused interventions
will be applied and will be tuned by intervision of therapists on a two weekly
basis.
Study burden and risks
Over a period of 30 months 6 measurements will take place, that take six hours
each. Every measurement will be divided over two sessions. The total extent of
the burden will be approximately 36 hours. There are no risks in attending the
questionnaire assessment.
