A cross-sectional study of Auditory Verbal Hallucinations experienced by people with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder

CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that AVH is a legitimate and distressing symptom of BPD and a treatment priority for some patients. The relative independence of AVH from other BPD symptoms and emotional states suggests that psychological treatment may need to be targeted specifically at the symptom of AVH. This treatment could be adapted from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, the psychological intervention that is recommended for the treatment of AVH in the context of psychosis.PMID:34322956 | DOI:10.1002/cpp.2655
