A real‐world study of the effectiveness of DBT in the UK National Health Service
Abstract
Objectives. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has gained widespread popularity as a treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD), and its efficacy has been demonstrated in several trials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of DBT delivered by staff with a level of training readily achievable in National Health Service care settings for individuals with a Cluster B personality disorder. Design. Randomized control trial methodology was used to compare DBT to treatment as usual (TAU). Method. Forty‐two participants entered the trial. Diagnostic and outcome measures were undertaken at assessment, at 6 months, and at 1 year. The clinical outcomes in routine evaluation – outcome measure (CORE‐OM) were utilized as the primary outcome measure. Results. Both the DBT and TAU groups improved on the range of measures employed. The DBT group showed a slightly greater decrease in CORE‐OM risk scores, suicidality, and post‐traumatic stress disorder symptom severity. However, the TAU group showed comparable reductions in all measures and a larger decrease in para‐suicidal behaviours and risk. Conclusions. DBT may be an effective treatment delivered by community outpatient services for individuals with a Cluster B personality disorder. Further studies are needed to consider the impact of experience and adherence to DBT in improving outcome.

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.
