Overview
Psychotherapy is the mainstay and core management for PDs.
Psychotherapy
It is a collaborative treatment that aims to improve the perception of the disease and rectify the response to social and personal problems with ameliorated behavior.
- Psychodynamic psychotherapy (PDT) focuses on self-reflection and the identification of perceptual distortions. It then enables an individual to develop adaptive responses to varying stimuli. Emotional conflicts, defence mechanisms and unconscious thoughts are recognised and analysed. This is then used to counter and resolve the unconscious conflicts and relational difficulties. It is performed twice to four weeklies for many months.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is based on recognizing distortion in thought processes and rectify the cognition pattern, thus establishing emotional stability and behavioral regulation. It is done once weekly for many months to years. It is used in ASPD, BPD, and substance use disorder.
- Dialectical-behavioral therapy is s subtype of CBT that reinforces and integrates positive emotions, thoughts, and behaviors by changing the negative thinking patterns. The word 'dialect' means 'synthesis or integration of opposites.' It equips patients with new enhanced coping skills to manage their painful conflicting emotions and control their impulses and self-destructing behavior. It is a significant therapy in cluster-B PDs.
- Interpersonal therapy comprises individual sessions that focus on improving interpersonal and social relationships. It involves finding triggers such as adjustment difficulty, role transition or dispute, and interpersonal deficit; and working together with the individual to challenge them and establish new positive roles. It is used for mood disorders and can be used in BPD. It is conducted weekly for 6-12 months.
- Dynamic Group psychotherapy harnesses the dynamic existing among individuals and utilizes it to bring out constructive and optimistic behaviors. Feedback from patients is beneficial to produce a therapeutic response. It is also carried out weekly for months.
A multi-wave study done by Clarkin et al. in 2007 studied the PDT, Dialectal behavioral therapy, and dynamic supportive therapy in the management of BPD. It demonstrated that PDT and DST were associated with improvement in anger and impulsivity, PDT and dialectical behavioral therapy lead to improvement in suicidality, and only PDT was found to be a predictor of verbal and direct assault [1]. European guidelines have the strongest recommendation for psychotherapy for BPD. Cognitive-behavioral therapy for ASPD is recommended by British and German guidelines. American society of Psychiatry recommends dialectical behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy for BPD.
