BackgroundLittle is currently known about functioning and impairment during adulthood associated with the course of personality disorders.AimsTo investigate the association of personality disorder stability from adolescence through middle adulthood with measures of global functioning and impairment, using prospective epidemiological data.MethodA community-based sample of 658 individuals was interviewed at mean ages 14, 16, 22 and 33 years.ResultsIndividuals with persistent personality disorder had markedly poorer functioning and greater impairment at mean age 33 years than did those who had never been identified as having such disorder or who had a personality disorder that was in remission, after co-occurring Axis I disorders at age 33 years were taken into account. Remitted disorder was associated with mild long-term impairment. Adult-onset personality disorders, however, were also associated with significant impairment.ConclusionsPersistent and adult-onset personality disorders are associated with functional impairment among adults in the community. These effects are independent of co-occurring Axis 1 disorders.

Personality disorders are prevalent and common among patients presenting for treatment. Research suggests that personality disorders are associated with significant impairment and can exert a negative impact on psychological and pharmacological treatments for Axis I disorders. Despite this, treatment development and research for personality disorders has lagged behind those of Axis I disorders. The present chapter describes two major cognitive models of personality disorder—the cognitive model advanced by Beck, Freeman, and colleagues and the schema model advanced by Young and colleagues (a brief review of the dialectical behavior therapy model is also provided). The chapter presents research on both theoretical models and outlines similarities and differences between the two theoretical formulations. A description of the therapeutic relationship in cognitive therapy is also provided. The components of treatment are presented followed by a case example for purposes of illustration. Finally, the chapter summarizes the extant research on the treatment of personality disorders. Although the data are encouraging, suggesting that personality disorders are responsive to treatment, further controlled trials are still needed.

IntroductionAmong personality disorders (PDs), antisocial and borderline personality disorder are well-studied. However, the remaining PDs (in the following called “minor PDs”) pose major problems in everyday-health care settings. People affected often present with additional axis-I disorders such as substance-related, mood or anxiety disorders, and are among those most difficult to treat.ObjectivesTo systematically review the current evidence of psychotherapeutic treatments for “minor” personality disordersMethodsIn the context of Cochrane Collaboration reviews for Cluster A, B and C PDs, exhaustive literature searches were done to identify the current RCT evidence for PD treatments. The electronic search strategies were extended to identify also non-RCT evidence for minor PD treatments. Retrievals were assessed and evaluated by two reviewers independently.ResultsThe current evidence for psychotherapeutic treatments of minor PDs is sparse and based on mixed PD samples with co-morbid axis-I disorders in the majority of cases. Reported outcomes focus on specific axis-I disorders or general measures such as overall functioning.ConclusionsThe current evidence is scarce and does not allow for distinct treatment recommendations but undermines the importance of meeting special demands of PD patients by PD-specific treatments. Possible reasons for the paucity of research in this regard will be discussed, also in the light of future developments after DSM-V.

Treatment outlines for Axis I disorders were published during 1982–1985. Treatment outlines for the DSM-Ill personality disorders are being published. This guide to the treatment of borderline, histrionic and narcissistic disorders was developed from the literature, from the opinions of practising psychiatrists and from the experience of nominated experts. Even though the treatment of patients who suffer from these disorders is very difficult, the surveys of outcome in the literature suggest that a majority of patients improve significantly with long term psychotherapy. In the present outline the expert committee describe a hypothetical model for the genesis of these disorders and outline the steps to be followed if therapy is to be optimal. The experts stress that therapy is often prolonged and difficult but can be rewarding. They caution that therapists are likely to require considerable special training and it is recommended that they seek supervision throughout the process of therapy.
