A schema-focused approach to group psychotherapy for outpatients with borderline personality disorder: A randomized controlled trial
Abstract
This study tests the effectiveness of adding an eight-month, thirty-session schema-focused therapy (SFT) group to treatment-as-usual (TAU) individual psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder (BPD). Patients (N=32) were randomly assigned to SFT-TAU and TAU alone. Dropout was 0% SFT, 25% TAU. Significant reductions in BPD symptoms and global severity of psychiatric symptoms, and improved global functioning with large treatment effect sizes were found in the SFT-TAU group. At the end of treatment, 94% of SFT-TAU compared to 16% of TAU no longer met BPD diagnosis criteria (p<.001). This study supports group SFT as an effective treatment for BPD that leads to recovery and improved overall functioning.

The RCT of Farrell et al. compared the effectiveness of adding 30 group sessions of ST to TAU and TAU alone in patients with BPD and found significantly greater reductions in BPD symptoms and global severity of psychiatric symptoms in the GST.
“the RCT of Farrell et al. [80] compared the effectiveness of adding 30 group sessions of ST to TAU and TAU alone in patients with BPD and found significantly greater reductions in BPD symptoms and global severity of psychiatric symptoms in the GST.”
Both treatments are well documented and have been implemented in scientific research before in treatment studies for GCBT and individual and group ST.
“Both treatments are well documented [17, 24, 75] and have been implemented in scientific research before in treatment studies for GCBT (e.g. [76–79]) and individual and group ST (e.g. [19, 43, 80, 81]).”
Several studies have shown that treatment based on the ST model is very effective for patients with BPD, but also for other personality disorders.
“Several studies have shown that treatment based on that model is very effective for patients with BPD (Giesen-Bloo et al., 2006; Farrell et al., 2009; Nadort et al., 2009; Dickhaut and Arntz, 2013), but also for other PDs (Bamelis et al., 2013).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
