Unlabelled: Effectiveness and limitations of a DBT-informed day-patient treatment for patients with borderline personality disorder Introduction: Borderline personality disorder, a highly prevalent personality disorder is associated with remarkable impairment and is considered one of the most challenging mental illnesses to treat. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy has been recommended by the American Psychiatric Association as a specific treatment for patients with borderline personality disorder. So far, little is known about its effectiveness in a day-patient setting.

[Exposure therapy for panic disorder and agoraphobia in the context of existing antidepressive medication].

Background: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and pharmacotherapy with antidepressants are both a highly effective treatment for agoraphobia and/or panic disorder; however, a combination of CBT and antidepressants is under debate due to potentially unfavorable interference effects. The associations of existing antidepressant medication with panic and agoraphobia symptom burden and their change in the context of a structured 5‑week day hospital and exposure-focused treatment in a naturalistic setting were investigated.

Methods: Out of a total of n = 488 patients medication use during treatment was retrospectively determined for n = 380: n = 100 (26.

Subtypes of borderline personality disorder in a day-clinic setting-Clinical and therapeutic differences.

This preliminary study aims at extending existing empirical evidence on subtypes of borderline personality disorders (BPDs) by identifying subtypes among patients with BPD, comparing their characteristics to the trait domains of the dimensional model of the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11; World Health Organization [WHO], 2022), and examining differences in sociodemographic, clinical, and therapeutic outcome variables. Data of = 109 patients were subjected to cluster analysis based on the International Personality Disorder Examination variables for BPD and analyzed regarding differences in clinical and therapeutic variables. Clustering suggested a three-cluster solution, namely, ( = 35), ( = 28), and subtype ( = 46).

The alliance-outcome association in borderline and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

Personality disorders are considered a possible factor affecting the relationship between therapeutic alliance and therapy outcome. The present study investigated the alliance-outcome effect in patient groups with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Data derived from a sample of = 66 patients, treated in a day care hospital setting with a dialectical-behavioral and schema therapeutic treatment concept.

Cortisol response under low intensity exercise during cognitive-behavioral therapy is associated with therapeutic outcome in panic disorder-an exploratory study.

Objectives: Patients with Panic Disorder (PD) show an abnormal stress-induced functioning of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis. Different protocols for stress induction are of rather low relevance for the psychotherapeutic treatment. In practice, interoceptive exposure is often realized as Low Intensity Exercise (LIE), as compared to an incremental cycle exercise test to exhaustion.

[Effectivity of Inpatient and Day-clinic Psychosomatic-Psychotherapeutic Treatment].

Aim: (Partial) inpatient psychotherapy is well implemented in Germany. To better understand efficacy factors and effects, efficacy studies are necessary. This naturalistic study investigates the effectiveness of inpatient and day clinic psychotherapy as well as patient-and disorder-related factors influencing individual symptom improvements.

[Differential Reflection of the Relationship between Therapeutic Alliance and Outcome in a Day Treatment Hospital Setting].

Objective: The therapeutic alliance is considered to be a significant and empirically well-documented determinant of therapeutical success. The aim of the present study was to replicate this effect using a large daily clinical sample and to consider different aspects of the therapeutic relationship in an extreme group of particularly low relationship satisfaction separately.

Method: A longitudinal examination of a sample of n=809 patients (M=34,32; SD=10,7; 72,6% female) in a day care hospital setting was carried out.
