An Integrative Approach Using Third-Generation Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies for Avoidant Personality Disorder
Overview
This paper presents a case study describing an integrative treatment approach for a client with avoidant personality disorder, comorbid adjustment disorder, and self-injurious behavior. The authors detail the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combined with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training, focusing on matching techniques to specific symptoms. Reported outcomes include reductions in depression, anxiety, and hopelessness, as well as remission of cutting behavior and increased social engagement over a one-month follow-up period.
