Healthcare Service Use

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is believed to be frequent among adolescents. While several prospective studies have assessed the use of mental health services among adults who suffer from BPD, few studies have provided adolescent data. This paper presents findings from the first assessment point of the European Research Network on Borderline Personality Disorder (EURNET BPD) study. In this study, we described treatment utilization of 85 adolescents with BPD (M = 16.5 years old). In line with adult findings, patients with BPD reported greater mental healthcare service use (outpatient: 98%; inpatient: 79%) compared to controls. Phenothiazine, a sedative neuroleptic, was the most frequently prescribed treatment. 47% of patients received psychotherapy; one-third of these patients received psychodynamic therapy. For all psychopathological variables, patients who received psychotherapy did not differ from those who did not receive psychotherapy; however, psychotherapy was more frequent among females. These data suggest that psychotherapy may be difficult to access for adolescents suffering from BPD, especially males.

Therapeutic Study

Background: Studies have shown the practicality of diagnosing borderline personality disorder (BPD) in children from the age of 12 years (cf. ICD-11, DSM-5). Research in the psychodynamic therapy of adolescents with BPD has been rare to date, however, there do exist some studies on the efficacy and effectiveness of psychodynamic therapy in adults with borderline personality disorder. Methods: We adapted the psychoanalytic-interactional method (PiM), originally developed in the treatment of severely disturbed adults, to the conditions of adolescents diagnosed with borderline personality disorder or structural deficits. Randomized controlled trial in an inpatient setting (Salzer et al., 2013; Salzer et al., 2014) showed that PIM is efficacious for adolescents with BPD symptoms. We describe the approach to treatment in detail. Results: The results of the therapeutic study and the short case vignette show that PiM is a useful method in both inpatient and outpatient treatment and meets the specific requirements of adolescent treatment.
