Efficacy of Dialectical Behavior Therapy in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials
Overview
This systematic review analyzes 18 randomized controlled trials involving 1,755 participants to evaluate the efficacy of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder. The authors report that most included studies support DBT's effectiveness in reducing suicidality, depressive symptoms, and hospitalization rates over periods up to 24 months. While noting positive outcomes for general psychopathology and impulsivity, the review highlights methodological heterogeneity across the trials and calls for more standardized future research.
