Savard C, et al. - To assess the effectiveness of a treatment program for personality disorders (PDs), researchers analyzed archival data from 260 patients (202 female, 58 male) diagnosed with PD who finished a 6-week day-hospital treatment program between 2012 and 2015. During treatment, patients displayed significant improvement on the total Outcome Questionnaire scale and its three subscales. Relative to patients over the age of 30, younger patients (18 to 24 years of age) exhibited larger improvements on social role satisfaction. Patients who engaged in social participation at the beginning of the treatment had overall greater improvement. Outcomes suggest the possible efficacy of a time-limited, 6-week day-hospital treatment program tailored to patients with PDs in lowering overall symptomatology in patients experiencing a crisis episode.
