Effectiveness of Psychodynamic Treatment in Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder

Author: Willem H. J. Martens

Published in: Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy | Issue 4/2006

Abstract

There is some evidence that the efficacy of four types of psychotherapeutic psychotherapy (mentalized-based treatment, transference-focused psychotherapy, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and cognitive-analytic therapy), is superior to treatment-as-usual. More controlled and randomized studies are needed in order a) to confirm the results of the relatively few investigations that were available, b) to examine the therapeutic relevance and usefulness of correlates and predictors of improvement and remission in borderline patients, and c) to examine possible fruitful combinations with other types of treatment.
