Group Schema Therapy for BPD

How do we measure the success of group schema therapy for borderline personality disorder (BPD), and how does it compare to individual schema therapy for BPD, along with specialized treatment as usual for BPD?

Arnoud Arntz and Joan Farrell present their keynote addresses at the 2020 ISST Virtual Summit.

Arnoud discusses the results of a three year international multi-center trial of nearly 500 participants. He shares details about the three comparison conditions that were used for the study:

1. group schema therapy sessions, with a limited number of individual schema therapy sessions

2. half group schema therapy sessions, and half individual schema therapy sessions

3. specialized treatment as usual for BPD based on the site

Arnoud reviews how results were measured on several factors, including treatment retention, the primary outcome of BPD-severity over three years, the impact of each modality on the most common symptoms of BPD, among others. Watch as he presents the fascinating results to see which group fares best.

Joan shares the clinical implications of the trial's outcomes, along with her work from research over 10 years in group schema therapy since she presented impressive results along with Ida Shaw at the first ISST conference in Coimbra, Portugal in 2008.

Joan breaks down how to account for different levels of treatment and correlated results, including the competency and training protocols of therapists, and how these factors affected patient outcomes on the BPDSI.

Joan shares some important caveats that are needed when conducting group schema therapy, including specific challenges inherent in a group modality. She answers the question of whether every therapist can be an effective group schema therapist.

Joan also shares how patients with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) fared in groups for BPD, and which schemas can best be treated in group schema therapy, among many other crucial aspects involved.

The keynote addresses of Arnoud and Joan are 1 of 13 selections from Day 3 of the 2020 ISST Virtual Summit. If you haven't yet purchased a ticket for the summit, it is not too late!
