Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effectiveness of long-term schema therapy (ST) compared to traditional treatment (TAU) for violent offenders with personality disorders (PDs) in the Netherlands.
- A total of 103 male offenders with various PDs were followed for three years, with evaluations every six months focused on rehabilitation and PD symptoms.
- Results indicated that ST led to faster improvements in rehabilitation and reductions in PD symptoms compared to TAU, suggesting that long-term psychotherapy can effectively help rehabilitate violent offenders.
