Dialectical behavior therapy skills training affects defense mechanisms in borderline personality disorder: An integrative approach of mechanisms in psychotherapy
Overview
This randomized controlled trial examines how dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training influences defense mechanisms in 31 outpatients with borderline personality disorder. The study compares changes in defense functions between patients receiving DBT adjunctive to treatment as usual versus those receiving only standard care, using the Defense Mechanism Rating Scale. Results indicate that DBT skills training significantly improved overall defense function and reduced borderline defenses compared to standard care alone.
