Access to psychotherapy for patients with personality disorders

AbstractThe best evidence for effective treatment of personality disorder supports the use of specialized forms of psychotherapy. However, these forms of treatment are generally unavailable in health care systems. This may be partly due to the expense of routinely offering long ‐term therapies. There is evidence that psychotherapy for personality disorder is cost‐effective. One way to address this problem is to treat most patients more briefly. © 2020 John Wiley& Sons, Ltd.
