About the Course

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a severe mental illness that is associated with low quality of life, low psychosocial functioning, and high societal costs. Treatments for BPD have improved in the last decades. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and Schema therapy (ST) have demonstrated efficacy in reducing BPD symptoms and costs. This study compares the cost effectiveness and overall efficacy of Schema Therapy vs Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

This course is based on the article, PRO*BPD: Effectiveness of Outpatient Treatment Programs for Borderline Personality Disorder created by Eva Fassbinder, MD et al. in 2018.
