PSYCHOTHERAPY
• Core of care for personality disorders.
• Symptoms as a result of poor or limited coping skills - Psychotherapy aims to improve
perceptions of and responses to social and environmental stressors.
1.Psychodynamic psychotherapy (cluster A and C)
 examines the ways that patients perceive events(assumption: that perceptions are shaped by
early life experiences.
 Psychotherapy aims to identify perceptual distortions and their historical sources.
 facilitate the development of more adaptive modes of perception and response.
 Treatment - extended over a course of several years at a frequency from several times a week to
once a month.
it makes use of transference.
2.Cognitive therapy(cluster B and C)
 Based on the idea that cognitive errors based on long-standing beliefs influence the meaning
attached to interpersonal events.
 Deals with how people think about their world and their perception of it.
 Very active form of therapy identifies the distortions and engages the patient in efforts to
reformulate perceptions and behaviors.
 Typically limited to episodes of 6-20 weeks, once weekly.
 In the case of personality disorders, episodes of therapy are repeated often over the course of
years.
 Interpersonal therapy (IPT)
 conceives of patients' difficulties resulting from a limited range of interpersonal problems
including such issues as role definition and grief.
 Current problems are interpreted narrowly through the screen of these formulations, and
solutions are framed in interpersonal terms.
 6-20 sessions.
 not widely practiced.
 therapists conversant in the technique are difficult to locate.
Group psychotherapy (cluster C and A)
 allows interpersonal psychopathology to display itself among peer patients
 Sessions are usually once weekly over a course (several months to years)
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): (In BPD)
 skills-based therapy (developed by Marsha Linehan, PhD) (individual and group formats).
 borderline personality disorder.
 manual-based therapy - development of coping skills to improve affective stability and
impulse control and on reducing self-harmful behavior.
 other cluster B personality disorders to reduce impulsive behavior.
Psycho education.
 This therapy teaches family and friends
 About the illness, including treatments, coping strategies and problem-solving skills.

HOSPITALIZATION AND RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAMS
• In some cases, a personality disorder may be so severe that one require psychiatric
hospitalization.
• Psychiatric hospitalization is generally recommended only when one is not able to care for
oneself properly or when one is in immediate danger of harming oneself or someone else.
• Psychiatric hospitalization options include -24-hour inpatient care
- partial or day hospitalization
- residential treatment- offers a supportive place to
live.
Conclusion-
 Personality disorder consume large portion of community services, social welfare benefits ,
public health and prison resources.
 As personality disorders are ego-syntonic , it is highly unlikely that patients will continue
treatment.
 Combined drug and psychological treatments may be of value as there is no reason to believe
that these would be antagonistic in the treatment of personality disorder.
