Standard 12 month dialectical behaviour therapy for adults with borderline personality disorder in a public community mental health setting

ConclusionsThe current study provides evidence for the effectiveness of standard DBT in publicly funded community mental health settings. As participants were assessed at the end of every module, it was possible to observe trends in symptom reduction during each stage of the intervention. Despite real-world limitations of applying DBT in community settings, the results of this study are comparable with more tightly controlled studies.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov ID:NCT03166579; Registered May 24th 2017 ‘retrospectively registered’
