Background summary
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Art Therapy on the psychological functioning in Personality Disorders Cluster B/C using a randomized controlled crossover design (intervention versus waiting list control condition). We expect that Art Therapy will result in less personality pathology, more acceptance, and less experiential avoidance of unpleasant inner experiences. This research contributes to the evidence base of art therapy in patients with personality disorders and the efficiency of practices within the mental health care.
Country of recruitment: The Netherlands.
Study objective
In this randomised controlled study, the effects of art therapy is examined on psychological functioning of patients with a personality disorder. It is expected that art therapy results in less personality pathology, more acceptance, and less experiential avoidance of unpleasant inner experiences.
Study design
All participants will start with a pré-test by completing questionnaires. The first group will start with the intervention immediately after the pre-test. The second group will not receive an intervention (waiting list control condition). After ten weeks, all participants will fill in questionnaires. Ten weeks after the second measurement, measurement 3 takes place.
Intervention
Art Therapy:
A protocol designed for 10 sessions of Art Therapy, based on the theory and assignments as described in: `Don't act out but live through' In Dutch: ‘Niet uitleven maar beleven’ about Art Therapy with patients suffering of Personality Disorders (Haeyen, 2007). The goal of Art Therapy is to improve mindfulness, emotion regulation skills, and interpersonal functioning. This protocol describes an outpatient group treatment, a closed group with a maximum of 8 to 9 participants.
The control group will be on a waiting list.
