Psychotherapy for patients with schizotypal personality disorder: A scoping review.

Background: Treatment of schizotypal personality disorder is complex. Currently, there are no clear evidence-based recommendations for use of psychotherapy for individuals suffering from this mental illness, and studies are sparse. Our aim in this review is to map and describe the existing research and to answer the research question: What do we know about the use of psychotherapy for people with schizotypal personality disorder?

Methods: We conducted a scoping review using systematic searches in the Embase, MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases.
