Severity of general psychiatric symptoms (Brief Symptom Inventory)
Severity of symptoms of personality disorders (Personality Inventory for DSM-5*
Brief Form (PID-5-BF)
Secondary outcome
Functioning in daily life (World Health Organization Disability Assessment
Schedule 2.0, WHODAS-2)
Data will be collected at baseline, midway and end of treatment, and 6 and 12
months of follow-up.
The following four predictive factors will be explored for treatment success
and : signs of autism (AQ-10), rigidity (subdomain BRIEF-A), latent low scorers
mode profile and severity of general psychiatric symptoms (Brief Symptom
Inventory, BSI) after three months of treatment.
Background summary
Schema therapy has gained increasing attention during the last decade as an
effective form of treatment for personality disorders (PD), mainly in treating
borderline personality disorder. Schema therapy with a brief duration would be
very welcome as PD are prevalent, ensuing distress is high and waiting lists
are long. In clinical practice Time limited Experiential group Schema therapy
(TE-ST) has been implemented with great enthusiasm. However, there is very
limited empirical evidence for this intervention. Furthermore, it is unknown
which patients do benefit from this brief intervention and who do need more
treatment.
Study objective
In this multicenter, naturalistic study we will investigate the effect of
TE-ST, as applied in clinical practice, and explore factors that predict
treatment success and dropouts.
Study design
Within-subject design with five assessments among patients participating in
TE-ST.
Study burden and risks
There are no risks associated with participation into this study since it
consists of self-reports in adjunct to regular treatment. The burden consists
of filling out questionnaires at five time points. The first assessment will
take approximately 120 minutes, the other four measurements will have a
duration of approximately 60 minutes each.
