  • Title: Cognitive-behavioral therapies for personality disorders.
    Author: Rafaeli E.
    Journal: Isr J Psychiatry Relat Sci; 2009; 46(4):290-7. PubMed ID: 20635777.
    Abstract:
    Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been strongly identified as a time-limited treatment approach for Axis-I disorders, but CBT models for addressing personality disorders - enduring patterns of relational and emotional difficulties - are gaining greater attention. This review touches on three influential models: Beck's cognitive therapy (CT), Young's schema focused therapy (SFT), and Linehan's dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), presenting the rationale for their development, main theoretical components, and a brief discussion of their goals and means, along with a review of the growing evidence base supporting their effectiveness. The need for integrative models for treatment of this population is noted.
