On the Admission of Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder to Outpatient Psychotherapy

CONCLUSION: The care situation for people with BPD seeking an outpatient psychotherapy place is clearly in need of improvement. This is mainly due to a general lack of available therapy places as well as various fears and anxieties, such as increased suicidality, which in turn can have a negative impact on the provision of outpatient therapy. Psychotherapists who have undergone disorder-specific further training feel less burdened by suicidal behaviour. However, since only a small number of them are able to offer BPD-specific therapies, it is essential to expand and (financially) support specific training programmes. In order to meet the demand for care, professional changes are urgently needed.PMID:38316435 | DOI:10.1055/a-2197-9956
